The daily report
  • Viewing: check it directly on the screen with View Report.
  • Downloading: get the file with Download daily/weekly/monthly report file.

Note Which group the report covers follows the selection in the context selector. Choose the application group you want first.

Operations Report​

A comprehensive report from the operations point of view. As a usage statistics and inspection report, it gathers the resources, events, and failure history of the whole system into one report. This menu is visible only to accounts with administrator permission -- the other report menus (daily/weekly/monthly and Excel download) are available to every user.

The operations report
  • Where the periodic performance reports answer "how well is the service running", the operations report is for "gathering the operating state and issues of the whole period at a glance".

The checks are grouped by tier.

TierWhat is checked
OS / serverCPU, memory, disk, disk queue, ports
Web serverWorkers and status, configuration changes, kernel parameters
WASJVM, threads, connection pools, and so on
DatabaseMySQL and CUBRID checks are included

Note The database checks cover MySQL and CUBRID. A metric that could not be retrieved is reported differently from one that genuinely has no value, so when you see a blank you can tell from the report which case it is.

SLA Report​

A report from the service level point of view (availability and attainment). Get it from SLA Monitoring ▸ SLA Report.

The SLA report

The configuration and checking steps are in H17. Setting SLA Targets and Getting Reports.

Excel Download​

Downloads the monitoring data seen on the screen as an Excel file.
