CONSOLIDATED REPORTS

The CONSOLIDATED reports option that the eG Reporter includes, provides a bird's eye view of infrastructure performance. While detailed graphs are ideal for analyzing performance of one server or application or device in detail, what IT operators of large infrastructures need to be able to see is a quick comparison of performance across the servers in their infrastructure.

The comparison should span multiple metrics so that the IT operators can get at a glance consolidated view of their infrastructure. The consolidated reports option addresses this requirement. Using this capability, IT operators can quickly determine if there are hot-spots in their infrastructure, whether the load balancing is working as expected, etc. Comparison of these reports over time can provide key indications regarding performance trends.

eG enterprise uses the grouping of servers as a Zone to define the scope of a consolidated report. Choosing the Zone option, allows a consolidated report to be defined comparing all the servers in the Zone. The Server option summarizes the performance of one of the components of the infrastructure.

Besides the above, eG Reporter provides the Citrix / VDI report category that addresses the unique monitoring requirements of thin client environments. This category provides valuable insights into different aspects of a thin client infrastructure's performance.

In order to enable you to focus on the critical/hyper-sensitive attributes of server/zone performance, eG Enterprise allows you the flexibility to choose the measures that are to be displayed in a Zone or Server consolidated report. In addition, the default Time period, Timeline (Default) Only for thin client reports, and Weekend days settings for Consolidated and Thin Cient reports can also be set. To achieve the above, do the following:

• Select the Consolidated Reports option from the Reporter menu of the Settings tile in the eG administrative interface.

• Select a Report type. By default, Zone is selected. The other options are: Server, Thin client session, Thin client application, and Thin client user. Thin Client reports are relevant for Citrix and Terminal Server environments.

• Next, indicate the default Time period that is to be set for the chosen Report type.

• Similarly, the default Timeline (Default) Only for thin client reports setting for the Report Type can also be specified. This setting however, applies only to Thin client reports.

• Additionally, from the Weekend days list, you can select the days of the week that constitute a “weekend”.

• To save the configurations, click on the Update button.

• To configure the measures to be displayed in the consolidated reports, click on the Configure Metrics for Specific Component Type button in this page.
