Report operations

This section describes how to add/edit/delete report.

A report contains the following information: a monitor’s status over time (known as the monitor’s timeline), its performance over time, its response time for successful transactions over time, and its status distribution.

Reports can be sent by email at a specified scheduled time or immediately upon request.

Reports are organized using tags from the monitors.

Reports are organized by tags

The computed list of monitors

Reports can be associated with tag(s) and/or monitor(s). The list of monitors they reference is generated from the tag(s) and/or monitor(s).

For instance: mon1 has tag1, mon2 has tag1 , mon3 has tag2, mon4 has no tag. A given report has monitor mon4 and has tag tag1, then the computed list of monitors for this report will be mon1, mon2, mon4. Separate reports will be sent for each monitor in this list.

Accessing reports and user privileges

Users in the ADMIN group can add, edit, or delete a report, as well as add or remove monitor(s) and/or tag(s) from a report.

Users with tags matching those on the report and belonging to the USER group can also add, edit, or delete a report, as well as add or remove monitor(s) and/or tag(s) from a report.

A report can have one or more tags.

Note:

Before being able to send report by email you must first configure the SMTP settings.
