New reports

To create/run a new report from the Reports > Run Report page:

  1. Select between the two options to start creating a report:

Select Devices

Select one or more devices before choosing a supported report type

Select Report Type

Select a report type before choosing data sources/devices.

  1. In the next step, select the type or devices for the report:

    • Report type: Use the dropdown to select a category, and then select the report type to run.

    • Devices: Check the devices under Available Devices and use the arrow buttons to add them to the Selected Devices list.

    Note

    Only supported report types or eligible devices (based on the selection(s) made in the previous step) are displayed.

  2. Configure the following settings on the following page:

  1. Click Run Report.

A progress bar is shown as the report is being run. Afterwards, the report results/output view will be displayed.

Saving reports

After a report is created and run, the configuration can be saved by clicking the save (disk) button in the output view.

Once a report has been saved, it can be re-run at a later time (either as-is or with modified settings). Saved reports can also be used to set up custom thresholds to trigger alarms and scheduled email reports.

To learn more about accessing and managing saved reports, see this section.

Hint

Access to specific reports and/or report folders can be defined as part of user group permissions from the Admin > Users & Groups > User Groups page.

Running reports via URL

To quickly run an all-devices Host to Host pair report, with a filter for a specified IP address (FILTER_IP), a URL in the following format can be used:

https://SCRUTINIZER_ADDRESS/ui/reports/run-report/search/el/FILTER_IP

Note

Plixer Scrutinizer will also accept a FILTER_IP in hex format but only if the IP address belongs to an exporter.
