Fabric Manager 5.x administrator guide 89
Reports
Fabric Manager allows you to present information in two forms: reports and graphs. You can create
customized reports (see ”Creating custom reports” on page 92), or you can create reports from templates
(see ”Creating and using report templates” on page 97). You can also save (see ”Saving performance
monitor reports or graphs” on page 100), print (see ”Printing performance monitor reports” on
page 101), and export reports (see ”Exporting reports” on page 101) created in Fabric Manager.
Graphs
Fabric Manager allows you to create graphs of performance data (see Figure 42). There are no templates
for Performance Monitor graphs; however, you can create custom graphs (see ”Creating custom graphs”
on page 95) or edit existing graphs (see ”Editing performance monitor graphs” on page 102).

Templates
To generate an ongoing report without a specified time interval, you can create a performance monitor
report from a template. Fabric Manager has six templates by default. The defaults templates are
described in Table 15.
