3.2 Non-Derivation Templates

Non-Derivation templates are one-to-one templates that lets you derive one report per template. After you derive a report from the template you must save the derived report before you deploy it. For more information about deriving a new report from a Non-Derivation template, see Section 3.2.1, Deriving a Report From the Non-Derivation Template.

3.2.1 Deriving a Report From the Non-Derivation Template

In Reporting Console, select the template from which you want to derive the report.
Click Run Report.
Click the Report > Save Template As Report option and save the report.

3.2.2 Types of Non-Derivation Templates

The following sections lists the templates that you can use to derive a report:

Compare Templates

Template Name	Description
KS Compare By Number Time Range	Generates report that compares AppManager data for the Knowledge Script data series over different time range: KS Compare By Two Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Knowledge Script data series over two different time range. KS Compare By Three Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Knowledge Script data series over three different time range. KS Compare By Four Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Knowledge Script data series over four different time range.
Machine Compare By Number Time Range	Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Machine data series over different time range: Machine Compare By Two Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Machine data series over two different time range. Machine Compare By Three Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Machine data series over three different time range. Machine Compare By Four Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Machine data series over four different time range.
Metric Compare By Number Time Range	Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Metric data series over different time range: Metric Compare By Two Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Metric data series over two different time range. Metric Compare By Three Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Metric data series over three different time range. Metric Compare By Four Time Range: Generates reports that compares AppManager data for the Metric data series over four different time range.

Dashboard Templates

Dashboard template enables you to create a dashboard report that lets you group a number of reports. This grouping of reports helps you view all the reports on the same page, which makes it easy to view related data at a glance. You can add or remove reports from a dashboard and also save the dashboard with a different name. For more information about Dashboard Reports, see Section 4.3, Using Dashboard Reports.

Drill-Down Templates

Drill-Down templates enables you to create drill-down reports. Reports often display large amount of data. If the data is fairly detailed, displaying every detail in one report might not be possible. The best solution to overcome this problem is to create a Table of Contents (TOC) report and a drill-down report. The TOC report displays computer data for the selected context and allows you to navigate to the drill-down report to view the underlying data. The drill-down report displays detailed information about the machine you select.

Template Name	Description
Machine Group By Measure	Generates a drill-down report in which each row represents a Machine or Machine Group and each column represents the Measure data series.
TOC List By Server	Generates a parent report in which each row represents machine details with a link to view the drill-down report. Each column in the report represents the Measure data series. To link the drill-down report: Right-click the Machine header in the table view. Click Data Series Properties > General. In the Linked Subreport option, click Sub Report and select the report to link with the parent report. Click OK twice. NOTE:You can also use this report to create Linked report. For more information about Linked Reports, see Section 4.2, Using Linked Reports.

Template Name

Description

Machine Group By Measure

Generates a drill-down report in which each row represents a Machine or Machine Group and each column represents the Measure data series.

TOC List By Server

Generates a parent report in which each row represents machine details with a link to view the drill-down report. Each column in the report represents the Measure data series.

To link the drill-down report:

Right-click the Machine header in the table view.
Click Data Series Properties > General.
In the Linked Subreport option, click Sub Report and select the report to link with the parent report.
Click OK twice.

NOTE:You can also use this report to create Linked report. For more information about Linked Reports, see Section 4.2, Using Linked Reports.

GAP Templates

To set thresholds for what you consider good and poor performance, click Report Contexts > Reports Parameters.

Template Name	Description
Good-Acceptable-Poor Performance Data	Examines relative levels of performance based on the data collected from the machines. Displays overall values in percentage for the selected machine.
Good-Acceptable-Poor Performance Data By Machine	Examines relative levels of performance based on the data collected from the machines. Displays overall values for each selected machine.
Good-Acceptable-Poor Performance Data Over Time	Examines relative levels of performance based on the data collected from the machines. Displays a set of values per time increment for each selected machine.

Prediction Templates

Template Name	Description
Performance Data Trend and Prediction	Generates report that plots a trend line based on a range of all available data.
Performance Data Trend and Prediction (Normalized)	Generates report that plots a trend line based on a range of existing and normalized data. That is, the data which excludes extreme and isolated values.

Target Templates

Template Name	Description
Performance Relative to Target	Generates report that tracks performance relative to a benchmark and displays values as the percentages by which the target value was exceeded.

Top N Templates

Template Name	Description
Bottom N Performance Server	Generates report that lists the computers with the lowest values for the selected metrics. N represents the number of machines.
Top N Performance Server	Generates report that lists the computers with the highest values for the selected metrics. N represents the number of machines.

UpTime Templates

Template Name	Description
System Uptime	Generates report that lists the total system uptime and downtime for computers or computer groups over the time period you specify and displays the following: System Total Time (hours) System Downtime (hours) System Uptime (hours) System Downtime (%) System Uptime (%)
System Uptime By Server	Generates report that examines the percentage of uptime and downtime per machine or machine group for the time period you specify. Displays the following two values per machine or machine group for the time period you specify: System Downtime (%) System Uptime (%)
System Uptime By Over Time	Generates report that examines the percentage of system uptime and downtime by time interval for machine or machine groups over the time period you specify. Displays the following two values per time interval for all selected computers: System Downtime (%) System Uptime (%)
System Uptime Pie Chart	Generates report that examines the percentage of uptime and downtime for an individual machine or machine group for the time period you specify. Displays the following two overall values for the time period you specify: System Downtime (%) System Uptime (%) NOTE:You can include multiple machine or machine groups, but a single pie chart is not suited to illustrate multiple 100% totals. If you want to use this report for multiple machine or machine groups, use a different chart type.
