Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter 8.0 Reporting Guide

The Drive Throughput, and Drive Utilization reports can be exported and emailed only in the HTML format.

The Drive Throughput and Drive Utilization reports display data only till 1 A.M. and not till the time when you run the report. This is because OpsCenter collects data for Drive Throughput and Drive Utilization report once per day at 1 A.M. everyday after midnight.

Therefore the Drive Throughput or Drive Utilization reports are only able to report on data up until 1 AM on that day, even when run with a relative timeframe of Previous 24 hours. Similarly if you run Drive Throughput and Drive Utilization reports at 2 P.M. in the afternoon, the reports display data collected till 1 A.M. only.

Veritas recommends that you configure the retention period of error logs in NetBackup as more than 1 day. If the retention period of error logs is less than 24 hours, it may result in data loss for some reports like Drive Throughput.

A tabular report that is scheduled for emailing has up to 4000 rows by default. Similarly, exporting a tabular report in the available formats displays data for a maximum of 4000 rows by default. The maximum number of rows can be configured.

See Configuring number of rows in a tabular report for email or export.

Reports in the PDF, TSV, XML, or CSV formats are sent as email attachments.

A report in the HTML format is sent as an inline message in email.

Sorting for HTML-based reports (for example, Drive Utilization) is not supported.

The default view that is selected is All My Views. All standard reports by default show the data based on what you select for Report Template Default View. The Report Template Default View can be specified in Settings > User Preferences. The default value of Report Template Default View is All My Views.
