Node Report
The Node Report provides a detailed summary of one node. Node details such as status, sysName, IP address, type, model, uptime, interfaces, location, contact, description, last update, vendor, object name, group role and net and the interface table are presented. This report is useful in particular for incident and problem management reporting.
Interfaces and storage items are details if present.
Graphs are provided which details the following: reachability, availability and health, response time, CPU utilisation, number of routes, IP utilisation, IP fragmentation/reassembly (as a % of packets received), buffer utilisation.
Items of note:
- This report cannot be created for more than one node. If your node selection contains more than one node, then the report is created for the first node in your list.
- This report relies directly on NMIS for inline graphs, and therefore won't work unless the configuration item
nmis_host_baseis correctly set (i.e. has the public web address of your NMIS server). - Business Hours reporting is not supported for this report.
- This report cannot be generated in formats other than HTML.
- While it can be saved it is not self-contained (the NMIS graphs are live and created on viewing!), therefore it's primarily of use as an on-demand report for immediate consumption.
The screen shot below shows the Create On-Demand Report menu. From this menu you can create any of the reports that opReports has to offer.
