Testing Automated Reports Settings
You can manually generate reports to test the configured automated report settings without waiting for the reports to be generated
automatically. By default, Unisphere Central generates reports into a folder named for the day when the report was generated.
Steps
1. If a Storage Center is selected from the drop-down list in Unisphere Central, click
(Home).
The Unisphere Central Home page is displayed.
2. Click Data Collector.
The Data Collector view is displayed.
3. Click the Monitoring tab, and then click the Automated Reports subtab.
4. Review the current report settings:
• If the settings are acceptable, click Generate.
• To change the report settings, click Edit, adjust the settings, and click Generate.
The Generate Reports Now dialog box opens.
5. Select the checkboxes of the reports to generate.
6. Click OK. The reports are generated and the Generate Reports dialog box closes.
NOTE: Generating a report overwrites previously generated reports in the folder for that day. To prevent these
reports from being overwritten, specify a different directory in the Automated Report Options area of the
Automated Reports dialog box.
7. Click OK.
