Reports and templates overview

Report templates allow you to quickly create graphic reports of storage system capacities and performance.

The report templates contain predefined values for Time Period and Sampling, Objects, Chart Options, and other settings.

There are several ways to create reports:

  • With the Create action, you can choose to create one report at a time. After you select a report template, you can review the report settings and accept or change the settings before you create the report.

  • With the Create multiple reports action, you can choose to create multiple default reports at one time. You cannot review or change the report settings before you create the reports. The reports are created using all default settings. However, after default reports are created, you can edit and change the report settings.

Report templates availability

Some report templates are available for selection only if the required license is found for the selected storage system. For example, report templates for Remote Copy are listed only if the selected storage system has a Remote Copy license.

The availability of report templates also depends on the version of HPE Storage OS that is running on the selected storage system. For version support information, see the HPE SSMC Administrator Guide.
