Understanding the Data Container

The Report contains a filter bar at the top, plus the actual Data Container. The default Data Container contains an interactive chart view that contains either a grid view, containing a text version of the information. One or more sections might be present in the grid view. Toggle buttons allow you to display the Chart view, Grid view, or Chart and Grid view.

Grid sections are arranged in columns. Columns might be rearranged to view them from the top down or bottom up, by clicking the up and down arrows in the column headings. You can narrow results by applying a filter to a column: right-click on a column heading and click Add Filter.

Hypertext-linked columns are drillable, meaning you can click on the hypertext entry to bring up a Detail view with more information on the desired entry. Detail views might have multiple sections.

The Detail views are usually reflected in the sub-headings under the Reports list, which provide a shortcut directly to the Detail Report. To go to the full Detail view, click the Details entry in the Reports list. From the Detail view, you can access the system logs, for event-by-event information, or further filter the results. For more information on using the Log Analyzer to view and filter syslog reports, see Using the Log Analyzer .

Details views can contain multiple sections. To determine if you have reached the end of the list of sections, check for the time zone message, which indicates the end of the Detail View.

Reports with hyperlinked columns can be filtered on the column or by drilling down on the hyperlinked entry.

You can also get to a filtered Detail view by clicking the section representing the desired information in the pie chart.

To save a filtered view for later viewing, click the Save icon on the Filter Bar. The saved view now appears under Custom Reports.
