Network management reports provide one of the single greatest benefit of Eye of the Storm. EYE quickly generates reports from intelligent queries that specify the required data and how it should be presented. The reporting engine uses XML and XSLT techniques to manipulate the data and delivers the resulting reports via the Web Server in PDF, HTML, CSV (delimited ASCII) and XML formats.
EYE has a broad range of reporting solutions to help with all your reporting, data analysis, and integration needs:
- Essential Reports - An out-of-the-box collection of industry standard reports, fundamental to proper operation of a network. They are technology and purpose specific reports that come with templates, e.g. PVC Data Loss Report, Device Inventory Report, KPI Reports.
- Flex Reports - Flexible in both purpose and technology, these reports can be tailored to individual needs. They are completed through one of a number of general forms, i.e. Inventory, TopN, and Graph report forms.
- EYE Report Server - Provides full-featured reporting for IT infrastructure management. Using EYE’s current and historical network data, sophisticated print or web reports can be easily created for illustrating various IT environments providing the ability to analyze the data for increased business productivity.
- Executive Reports - A graphical management level reporting solution that delivers at-a-glance insight into key indicators and performance trends of the business infrastructure.
- Queries - Generate dynamic browser-based reports that are perfect for ad-hoc list creation and many check-list type processes.
- EYE COM API - Enables incorporation of EYE's extensive infrastructure data into web pages, documents and spreadsheets. You can design interfaces and methods of presentation that suit each viewer. For example, an outsourcer can design and make available from their extranet dashboard's that provide both a real-time and historical look at a client's network.
Essential Reports are predefined, analytic reports that leverage the extensive network inventory, complete with identifiers such as location, version numbers, model numbers and serial numbers; and performance, availability and resource utilization statistics. The identifiers enhance the management of maintenance contracts; simplify change tracking; and identify old versions of software that need to be updated.
Essential - and Flex - reports have hyperlinks that can be used to drill down for additional detail and can be scheduled or generated on demand.
The data management kernel packages data sets for these reports in industry standard XML files. The XML files can be passed to the EYE reporting engine for presentation or passed to other external reporting packages that accept XML files. The EYE reporting engine leverages industry standard XSLT processing techniques, which provide flexible control over the presentation of the report data.
Example Essential Reports
Essential Reports are available as PDF documents and include:
- Inventory Reports, including Device Inventory, Device and Module Inventory
- Performance Reports, including PVC Data Loss, Key Performance Indicator Reports
- Capacity Planning Reports, including ATM, Leased Line, Frame Relay.
Flex Reports enable users to interact with the data management kernel via a web interface to create new reports on the fly. This new reporting functionality combines full access to the rich variety of stored data with an extensive variety of presentation styles.
