SCENARIO 5. REPORTS
Ratnesh
Cisco Prime Infrastructure reporting is necessary to monitor the system and network health as
well as troubleshoot network problems. A number of reports can be generated to run on an
immediate or a scheduled basis. Reports can also be combined to form composite reports.
Each report type has a number of user-defined criteria to aid in defining the reports. The
reports can be formatted as a summary, tabular, or combined (tabular and graphical)
layout. After they have been defined, the reports can be saved for future diagnostic use or
scheduled to run on a regular basis. Reports are saved in the these formats:
CSV
PDF format and are either saved to a file on Prime Infrastructure to be downloaded later or
emailed to a specific email address.
Report categories are: CurrentProvides a snapshot of data that is not time-dependent.
HistoricalRetrieves data from the device periodically and stores it in the Prime Infrastructure
database.
TrendGenerates a report using aggregated data. Data can be periodically collected
from devices and a schedule can be established for report generation. Top NGenerates
reports based on top utilization.
