Reporting
The Reports module of Dell™ Management Console enables you to view
pre-defined reports and create custom reports against data collected on the
various devices discovered and monitored by Dell Management Console.
The pre-defined reports are device specific and can be saved in the CSV
(spread sheet), XML, and HTML formats.
Use the Reports module to view reports. Reports process the collected
information and display the following information:
• Tasks that have run and the tasks that have succeeded or failed.
• Assets owned, where it is, and who has it.
NOTE: The data that is available in reports is not real time data and there is a time
lag present.
Reports Related Notes
• Power budget and power profile information are not supported for the
following platforms:
• R805 (Dell OpenManage 5.5, OpenManage 6.1, or OpenManage 6.2)
• R905 (OpenManage 6.1 or OpenManage 6.2)
Therefore, power budget and power profile information is not available in
the inventory (SNMP discovery) and in the power budget report.
About the Reporting Module
Use the Reports module to view inventory, monitoring, and performance
details associated with a device.
You can run a variety of reports that are already available in the
Dell Management Console Report Packs. You can also create custom reports
using a simple wizard-based flow. The custom reports can be very simple or
include SQL-like queries for more complex reports. For more information,
see the Symantec™ User’s Guide.
