Understanding Management and Monitoring Services Reports

The following sections describe each predefined report available in Management and Monitoring Services:


About the Topology Reports

The topology reports provide information about the topology of a selected ZfS site or segment. There are two types of topology reports you can generate: site-level reports and segment-level reports. The site-level reports provide details about the discovered devices on each segment in the ZfS site. The segment-level reports provide information about the discovered devices on the selected network segment.

Prior to generating the reports, you will need to perform a few operations. For more information see Prerequisites for Generating the Reports .

There are five predefined topology reports:

The NCP Servers report is available only at the site level.


Prerequisites for Generating the Reports

Because Crystal Reports is invoked by DLLs on the system, you need to install the Sybase ODBC driver. To check if the driver is installed:

  1. From the desktop Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel > ODBC Data Source.

    1. In the System Data Source Name (DSN) pane click Add.

    2. Select the Adaptive Server Anywhere driver. You must install Adaptive Server Anywhere if you do not have it on your system. You can install it from the SYBASE.ZIP file at COMPANIONCD\ODBC\SYBASE\*.*

  2. If you have an older version of ZfS, you will need to uninstall it and install the latest version of ZfS before you can run the reports.

    To uninstall the previous version:

    1. From the desktop Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

    2. Select ConsoleOne from the list and remove it.

      If you have already installed the latest version, then delete the zenSnapins.jar file from CONSOLEONE\LIB\ZEN.

  3. You will need at least MDAC 2.6 SP1 (Microsoft Data Access Component) for running Crystal Reports, particularly on a Windows NT machine. Check the version of MDAC on your box: select Control panel > ODBC Data sources > the About tab pane. The minimum version required is 3.520.7326.0. If the version you have does not match the minimum requirement, you need to upgrade the ODBC core components by downloading from Microsoft site.


Computer Systems by Segment Report

This report lists the number of computer systems on the selected segment. If the report is generated at the site level, the report lists the number of systems on each segment. For each segment, the report provides the following information about each connected computer system:


NCP Servers Report

This report lists the following information for each server on the selected ZfS site:


Router Report

This report provides the following information for each router on the selected ZfS segment or site:


Segment Report

This report lists the number of computer systems on the selected segment (segment level) or on all segments in the ZfS site (site level). For each segment, the report provides the following information about the systems connected to the segment:


Segment Topology Report

This report provides information about the routers and bridges on a selected ZfS segment or site.

For each router, the report provides the following information:

For each bridge, the report provides the following information:


About the Alarm Reports

The alarm reports provide information about the alarms received by the ZfS server. There are two types of alarm reports you can generate: Alarm details report and Alarm summary report.

Alarms Details Report

This report lists Information of the alarms on the site. The report is generated based on the customized settings. The report provides the following information about each connected computer system:


Alarms Summary Report

This report generates a brief summary of the alarms on the site. It provides a graphical representation of the distribution of alarms, for the selected number of days. The report provides the following information about each connected computer system:


About the Health Reports

The Health Reports provide information about the overall health of a specified ZfS site or network segment. Each health report is based on a predefined health profile. The health profiles define the trend parameters that are used to calculate the overall health of the segment or site. There are five predefined health profiles:

In addition, you can modify any of the existing profiles or create your own health report profiles. See Customizing a Health Profile or Adding a New Health Profile .


NetWare Server Profile

Reports generated using this profile provide graphs of the following trend parameters and use these parameters to calculate the overall health of the NetWare servers in the selected atlas, segment, or page:


Microsoft Windows Profile

Reports generated using this profile use the following trend parameters to calculate health:

In addition, reports generated using this profile contain trend graphs for the following parameter:


Ethernet Network Profile

Reports generated using this profile use the following trend parameters to calculate overall health:

In addition, reports generated using this profile contain trend graphs for the following parameters:


Token Ring Network Profile

Reports generated using this profile use the following trend parameters to calculate overall health. In addition, reports generated using this profile contain also contain trend graphs for the following parameters:


FDDI Network Profile

Reports generated using this profile use the following trend parameters to calculate overall health:

In addition, reports generated using this profile contain trend graphs for the following parameters:
