Examples of Reports
HP Web Jetadmin provides a rich set of data collection and reporting features. These features enable data
collections that are stored in a database and that are used in generating reports at a later time. After data is
collected about a device or group of devices, you can display the data in a report, save the data for future
use, or save the report.
There are two steps to producing a report:
1. Collecting the data: request which devices to collect information about for the report. Since this
process causes network traffic and database space, you must turn on data collection when you want a
report.
NOTE: If the data collection is not turned on, then the data will not be included in the report when it is
run.
2. Generating the report: specify the report type, the device or group or devices to include in the report
(which could be all or a subset of the devices you specified in Step 1), and the time frame for the data to
be included in the report. This must be done each time you want the report to run.
Reporting in HP Web Jetadmin shows data change over time. A very simple report could be simple device
page count on a single device (Device Utilization, see
Device Utilization on page 206). After data collection
has been established and multiple page counts exist in the database, a report can be displayed that shows
the page count change (if any) in a selected time interval.
For more information about producing a report for the first time, see
Getting Started with Reports
on page 209.
To ensure this feature works properly, see
System Requirements on page 1.
