Time Period | The reporting time periods for this report. Your choices range from the last 12 hours to the last 7 years. The options for this parameter depend on the report. |
Start Date / End Date | If you want a static report, specify a start and end date in the date format: MM/DD/YYYY. If you want a dynamic report—that is, a report that changes as the underlying data changes—do not specify a start and end date, as the default always represents the current day. |
Scope | Use this filter to specify what data will be included in a report. By Host Group. Includes data from default and user‑defined host groups. By Attribute. Includes data from default, system and user‑defined attributes or characteristics. By Clients. Includes data for only specific clients rather than data for host groups. See also Report Scope. |
Event Type | Job types: All Backup & Restore Events All Backup Events Full Backups Incremental Backups Restores |
Group By | Use the drop-down list to specify how you want the data in the bar charts or tables to be grouped. The available options are dependent on the type of report. Some reports group by time, while others group data by either host, client, or policy. |
Media Status | The Media Status parameter is included in the Tape Media Summary Scope Selector. You can specify which media should be included in the report by selecting one of the following options: All Media, Expired Media, Available Media, In Use Media or Full Media. The default setting for this parameter is All Media. |
Job Status | Applies to all backup event‑driven reports. Select from the following event status options: All Events Successful Events Warning Events Failed Events |
Backup Policy Name Filter | This filter appears in the Job Summary and Job Volume Summary scope selectors. Enter a backup policy name to filter the report output by backup policy. This enables analysis of job status for a specific policy. |
# of Consecutive Errors | Use this filter to exclude consecutive errors. This option comes in handy when troubleshooting by limiting the report to hosts with excessive activity. Select a number from the drop-down list. Only sets of consecutive errors >= the specified number will be included in the report. |
Dynamic Report Start & End Times | Provides the user with the ability to specify dynamic report start and end day and time. Simply specify the number of days before or after the current day as well as the time for both the start and end day and times to be used to generate the report. |
Cascade into sub-groups | The scope selector default is to cascade to all child sub-groups when generating the report. If you prefer to report ONLY on the host group you selected, then uncheck Cascade into sub-groups. |
