Opening the Report Manager

The Report Manager (Reports > Report Manager tab) lists all Active and Inactive Reports for the current NetMRI appliance, and enables monitoring of currently running and active reports.

The Report Manager divides into two sections:

• Active Reports, lists currently running and scheduled Report jobs. Click the Cancel button to stop currently running report jobs.
• Inactive Reports, lists all recently executed, cancelled and paused Report jobs. Click the Delete button to remove any entries in Inactive reports.

Two or more reports can simultaneously execute in the Active Reports queue. The Active Reports queue displays the following information:

• Report Name: the name of the report selected for execution (sortable);
• Report Type: indicates whether the report is an on-demand or scheduled report (sortable);
• Priority: the numeric priority value of the Report job;
• Created By: The administrative account running the report (sortable);
• Status: Pending, Cancelled, or Running. Pending status occurs when an active job is in the queue but cannot be run at the moment due to the appliance limit on the number of concurrently running jobs;
• Last Action Timestamp: The timestamp indicating when the Report job started (sortable).

Inactive Reports show the following:

• Report Name: the name of the report chosen for execution (sortable);
• Report Type: indicates whether the report is an on-demand or scheduled report (sortable);
• Size, B: the final size in bytes of the completed Report;
• Created By: The administrative account running the report (sortable);
• Status: Completed or Cancelled;

To set the permissible value for concurrently running reports, go to the Settings icon > General Settings > Advanced Settings and page to the Reports category. The default value is 2, supporting two Reports to run concurrently in the appliance. For most applications, Infoblox recommends keeping the default.

To start a report that is waiting in the Active Reports queue, select the desired report and then click Run Next. The selected report will start when another report is already running.

To stop execution of a currently running report, select the report in the Active Reports pane and then click Cancel. To delete a report from the Inactive Reports pane, select the report and then click Delete.
