SRM Windows File System Reports

Topics | How To | Example | SRM Archiver Integration | Related Topics


SRM reports provide a sleek, versatile, and easy-to-use reporting framework that enables you to easily and effectively choose, view, and analyze vital data. Customized reporting is available through the selection of filter criteria (e.g., individual columns, specific clients, specific client computer groups, etc.) and filters as described in SRM Reports.

From the CommCell Console, the SRM Report Manager provides these types of reports:

Initial templates are provided for each type (e.g., Cost History by Application, Capacity by File System, etc.) where columns have been preselected. The only requirement before generating and displaying the report is to specify one or more client computers. For most reports, a data collection job must also have been run prior to generating the report.

  You must use a Windows MediaAgent to collect file level analytics. You cannot use a Unix MediaAgent to collect file level analytics.

Reports can be customized by adding or removing columns in the initial templates or specifying additional Filter Criteria.

This following table lists:

For step-by-step instructions on generating reports, see Display, Run, or Schedule a Report Manager Report for step-by-step instructions.
