HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 User Guide

14 Reporting in Systems Insight Manager
Standard reports
Standard reports are shipped with Systems Insight Manager. The reports are based on common
user scenarios and do not need any additional configuration or enablement. These reports are
installed, configured, and available for use as soon as Systems Insight Manager is installed and
configured. Standard reports are tied to existing systems collections in Systems Insight Manager,
for instance, All Systems or All Servers. Report results appear based on logged in user authorization
of systems.
Standard reports are available by navigating to the Manage Reports page .
New Reports
A report configuration is a customer-defined set of preferences that pulls specified criteria from the
database tables and places it in a report in the specified format. The report configurations can be
saved and used to run a report at a later date with live data.
You must have administrative or operator rights to create, save, edit, copy, or delete report
configurations. Users with user rights can run the authorized report configurations only.
If User 1 with administrative rights generates a report and a private collection, then User 2 with
administrative rights is allowed to generate a report using the report configuration and private
collection that User 1 created. User 2 is allowed to edit, save, and delete the report configuration
but cannot delete the private collection created by User 1.
The create new report wizard helps you to create a new report and add it to Systems Insight
Manager reports. This option is only available for Systems Insight Manager.
You can save the report configuration for future use or generate a one-time report.
Select Reports→New Report..., the Step 1: Select Target Systems page appears.
