Generating Reports and Graphs from Templates

The Performance Monitor feature has a set of six templates (by default) that are useful if you need to

generate an ongoing report without a specified time interval. Table 8-2 on page 8-5 lists the default

templates.

Note

If the port type of a switch in a fabric changes, and Performance Monitor is enabled,

multiple port WWNs with different port types are displayed in the Performance Monitor

table and graph reports.
