Introduction

Required Data
Reporter bases its graphs on data collected from data sources on your
network and stored in data files on the management station. In order to
create reports, you first need to configure agents, data sources, and data
collection in Agent Manager.
Four types of data collection can be configured:
● RMON, which is based on the History group. For FDDI, RMON data
collection is based on a History-like group in HP’s private MIB.
● Extended RMON, based on NetMetrix RMON extensions.
● Response, based on targets configured with Internetwork Response
Manager (IRM).
● Component, based on MIBs for network components or elements.
Table 2 on page 43 indicates what kind of data is needed for each of the
available graph types.
For information on configuring data collection for your data sources,
refer to the Agent Manager chapter in Data Collector Reference.
