Note
When scheduled reports run concurrently with on-demand reports in NetMRI, scheduled reports will take priority for completion in the appliance.
All standard reports allow running and scheduling. You can run any report at any time, and schedule them to run at chosen time intervals. Custom reports, which you create, also offer exporting, editing and deletion features.
Exporting, editing and deletion cannot be performed on the standard reports bundled with the appliance.
To schedule a report, complete the following:
- In the Report Gallery, hover over the report to schedule.
- Under the report's thumbnail, click Schedule. A configuration window opens for the selected report ("Network History Report," for example).
In the Device Groups list, click a group name or click several groups holding the Ctrl key.
Click Next.
Edit the Report Name as needed.
The To Emails field is pre-populated with a default email address, which you can delete and change. You can add multiple e-mail addresses by separating multiple addresses with commas.
The To Users field is pre-populated with the e-mail addresses for all NetMRI users. You cannot edit this list.
Choose an Output Format (PDF, XLS, DOC, or HTML in Email).
Choose a Recurrence Pattern (Once, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
Choose an Execution Time (the drop-down list spans a 24-hour time period, with half-hour increments).
Under Occurs Every [ ] Week On: select each day of the week where the report will run. This value also defaults to one (1) week and can be changed.
Click Next.
Click Schedule. The job is listed in the Scheduled Reports tab.
You can edit scheduled reports at any time. Once the report executes, the admin accounts specified in the To Emails field receive a notification email with a file attachment in the specified format.
