Appendix A
Statistical Reports
This appendix describes the Report Format (.rib) files included with the Novell
LANtern management module. These .rib files allow you to generate reports
which monitor network activity and network entity relations. The network
administrator sets up reports for each model type (not each individual icon) to
record network activity and device performance over a specified period. You
can generate more than one Report Format file for a single model type,
allowing you to access a variety of information on a single model type.
Report generation files are located in the directory pointed to by the <CsRib
path>, which is designated in either your .Xdefaults or app-defaults files.
The Novell LANtern and LANtern NMM module supports the generation of
Statistical reports. This type of report presents information from the
statistical database, maintained by the SpectroSERVER. This report can be
made for a specific user-selectable date-time period. In order to generate a
statistical report, you must select a specific icon prior to making this menu
selection. The available Statistical reports are in subdirectories for each
model type within the CsRib directory.
NOTE
Relational Reports and Fixed Reports are supported for the LANtern and
LANtern NMM model types. These reports are not management module
specific.
