14 Reporting in HP SIM
Standard reports
Standard reports are shipped with HP SIM. The reports are based on common user scenarios and
do not need any additional configuration or enablement. These reports are installed, configured,
and available for use as soon as HP SIM is installed and configured. Standard reports are tied to
existing systems collections in HP SIM, for instance, All Systems or All Servers. Report results appear
based on logged in user authorization of systems.
Standard reports are available by navigating to the Manage Reports page .
New Reports
A report configuration is a customer-defined set of preferences that pulls specified criteria from the
database tables and places it in a report in the specified format. The report configurations can be
saved and used to run a report at a later date with live data.
You must have administrative or operator rights to create, save, edit, copy, or delete report
configurations. Users with user rights can run the authorized report configurations only.
If User 1 with administrative rights generates a report and a private collection, then User 2 with
administrative rights is allowed to generate a report using the report configuration and private
collection that User 1 created. User 2 is allowed to edit, save, and delete the report configuration
but cannot delete the private collection created by User 1.
The create new report wizard helps you to create a new report and add it to HP SIM reports. This
option is only available for HP SIM.
You can save the report configuration for future use or generate a one-time report.
Select Reports→New Report..., the Step 1: Select Target Systems page appears.
