NetMRI Standard Reports

The Report Gallery (Reports tab > Report Gallery) lists the standard and custom reports that are available in the current NetMRI instance.

The gallery contains a series of thumbnails, each representing a report type. NetMRI bundles a pre-defined set of reports gathered into a series of categories. Some categories will or will not appear depending on your license type.

Asset	Reports for viewing the assets of the managed network, including the following: The Asset Inventory report lists the inventory of all devices of a specific device group or for the entire network. Asset Inventory includes operating system versions, device model name, IP address (Network View), and global device type such as Switch, Router, Firewall and others. If the device is not fully managed by NetMRI, some information for some devices may not appear. Devices also may not provide blocks of information due to configuration changes, not providing SNMP permissions, or other causes; The Chassis Inventory report lists all devices of the selected type and the network interface cards installed in each device; The Discovery Status report lists all devices' discovery status for the selected device group. reported Success or Failure status results include verification of its existence (Device Exists on the network), Fingerprinting, if applied, Reachable (is the device successfully reachable on the network?); SNMP Credentials; SNMP collection; CLI Credential; Config Collection; and Device Group (successful or unsuccessful assignment to:). Device results are listed by device IP address. The Managed Devices report lists all devices in a selected device group by name, network operating system version, and First Found and Last Seen dates; The Virtual Asset Inventory report queries all virtual devices detected in the network and provides a list of all virtual device instances and their following characteristics: their IP Address, the Context (the device in which they are resident) and their host MAC address; The VLAN Interface Summary report lists all VLANs detected on all network resources, including whether they are administratively and operationally Up or Down. The VRF Configuration Summary report lists all VRF-aware devices in the selected device group, including each device IP, the network view associated with the listed Interface IP address (if any), the interfaces and interface IPs participating in the VRF, the local VRF names and their route distinguisher values (if the device hosting VRFs uses them).
Change and Config	Reports for change management and configuration management includes the following: Change Audit Summary describes the devices in the managed network that undergo configuration and status changes, devices exhibiting the most frequent changes and other equipment change characteristics; Config Change Audit Summary graphically shows the devices with recent configuration changes; Config Change Audit Details lists the configuration changes made to the devices in a selected device group, over the specified time period. Configuration Management Summary summarizes the selected device group's configuration management characteristics, including the dates for Last Checked, Last Running Change and Last Saved Change. It also lists the dates and times when device configurations were last changed and if the changes were committed.
Compliance	A set of Policy Compliance reports includes the following: Default Credentials reports on all devices in the selected device group that are suspected or found to be running default Admin/Root passwords); ISO 27002 is a summary of audit finding requirements and whether all devices in the chosen device group or network pass basic SarbanesOxley, HIPAA and GLBA regulatory requirements; PCI documents Cisco IOS and, in some cases, NX-OS device compliance with certain network aspects of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Versions 1.2, 2.0 and 3.0; The Policy Compliance Summary report provides an overview of the policy compliance status for any selected policies and the network devices against which they are deployed. Results are shown for Policy Compliance by Device and Policy Compliance by Rule. You can select one or more policies for the report. Policy Compliance Details (a more-detailed accounting of Policy Compliance violations on all network devices for which there is specific configuration information. See Policy Design Center for more information).
Health	Health reports illustrate network Issues in broad or in detailed view: The Issue Details report provides an accounting of all issues currently taking place in a selected device group. All reported Issues are reported in Error, Warning or Info status; The Network Health report is most effectively applied to the Entire Network device group; it displays several charts and list summaries for all phenomena in the network. Network Health displays the current Network Scorecard and also shows the more-specific data sets that contribute to the Scorecard compilation. A data set shows the current count of Issues by severity level for the current time period and its difference from the previous day The report also shows the overall trend of Issue Differences for the reported network. (See Evaluating Issues in NetMRI for more information.); The Network History reports on a series of subcategories of cumulative network information, including Device History, Route History, Subnet History, VLAN History, HSRP/VRRP History and Configuration History. Network History reports may be run against device groups, but are most effective for the entire network. All Summary tables show Diff values based on the previous day's information.
Switch Port Management	Switch Port Management reports provide information about the basic performance and usage rates of the switched Ethernet network: The MAC Address Summary report provides a survey of all MAC addresses detected in the network from both network assets and endpoints. In the Switch Port Management context, run the report against device groups such as Switches and Switch-Routers; The Port Saturation Snapshot report provides a pie chart showing port usage for all devices in the chosen device group, by Consumed and Available ports and port saturation statistics (Total Switches, Total Ports, % Consumed...) and a list of Top 10 Available Devices (switches with lowest usage); The Port Saturation Summary report defaults to a 30-day period, and measures Port Consumption, Port Allocation and Port Usage on a daily basis and places the daily tabulations on a series of bar charts. Port Usage differs from Port Consumption as it breaks down usage levels on switches based on usage frequency: Unused. Infrequent, Occasional, Moderate, Heavy and Constant. Other associated reports include New End Hosts, Link Changes, End Device Not Present and Slow Devices, which all relate to a specific aspect of monitoring a large-scale LAN switched network.

NetMRI bases its reports on information stored in the database after devices are discovered and collected from across the network. Reports can apply against any device group in the appliance, a single device in the database, or against the entire network. Depending on the size of the data set, a report can take a significant amount of time and occupy significant resources in the NetMRI appliance while generating the report.

Some reports are designed to run against the entire network but can also be run against subsets. Other reports, such as Port Saturation or Switch Port Management, are designed to run against more specialized network topologies.
