Displaying performance monitor reports in external applications
When you export performance monitor reports in XML format (see ”Exporting reports” on page 101), an
xslt file (stylesheet) is also saved with the XML file. The xslt file can be used to translate the XML file
into an Excel spreadsheet or another software applications that allows you to open XML files. You can edit
performance monitor reports in the Excel spreadsheet or similar software application.
NOTE: You do not have to use an xslt file, but the translated information is not very useful without the
stylesheet.
To open a performance monitor report (saved as an XML file) in Excel:
1. Launch Excel 2002, or later.
2. Select File > Open.
The Open dialog box opens.
3. Navigate to the XML file and click Open.
The Import XML dialog box opens and asks whether you want to open a stylesheet.
4. Open the file using one of the following methods:
•Click Open the file with the following stylesheet applied
The xslt file created by Fabric Manager is the default selected file. You can either use that file or
navigate to another stylesheet of your own. Click OK to display the information in an Excel
spreadsheet.
•Click Open the file without applying a stylesheet (not recommended)
The information is displayed in an Excel spreadsheet without any formatting.
