3. Select one of the following report types from the Report Type list:
For End-to-End monitoring reports:
• “Top N” Conversations by Generating (Tx) traffic over time T
• “Top N” Conversations by Receiving (Rx) traffic over time T
• “Top N” Conversations by Aggregate (Tx/Rx) traffic over time T
For Port Statistics reports:
• “Top N” of ports Generating (Tx) traffic over time T
• “Top N” of ports Receiving (Rx) traffic over time T
• “Top N” of ports Aggregate (Tx/Rx) traffic over time T
• Customized reports
4. Type the number of results you want for the report in the Top N field.
For reports, the range is 1 through 100 for a tabular report. The range for graphs is 1 through
20.
5. Select the threshold values.
6. Define the time range or interval using one of the following:
• Click Last, type a number, and then select the time increment (Minutes, Hours, or Days).
• Click From Time, and then enter values in the From Time and To Time fields. This includes
the month (mm), day (dd), year (yyyy), hour (HH), minute (MM), and morning (AM) or night
(PM).
7. Select the granularity (the time interval between samples) from the Granularity list.
The available options are 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 1 day. See “Granularity” on
page 111 for information on how granularity is calculated.
8. Check (enable) or clear (disable) Interpolate if there are data gaps for port statistics
monitoring. This allows Fabric Manager to use historical data to “assume” information about
data gaps. Port statistics have no gaps. If a switch is unreachable or if there is an SNMP
authentication failure, a ‘0’ value is placed into the database
9. For Port Statistics reports only: Select the ports for which you want to generate the report:
• Click All.
Includes all ports in the database with the specified granularity and time range.
• Click Device Ports only.
Includes only device ports (F_Ports and L_Ports) in the database with the specified
granularity and time range.
• Click ISL Ports only.
Includes only ISL ports (EX_Ports and E_Ports) in the database with the specified
granularity and time range.
• Select Advanced Port Selection > Select Ports to select specific ports.
The Advance Port Selection dialog box displays (see Figure 79 on page 120).
All of the switches that were available when the Generate Report dialog box was launched
are listed. If another user has discovered or removed a fabric, switch, or port since then, it
is not reflected in this list.
