Create a Report Group (NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics)

[This is the context-sensitive link for the Report Groups tab.]

Requires Network Node Manager iSPI Performance for Metrics Software (NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics). To populate performance data in the dashboard views or enhance NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics reports by sharing NNMi configuration settings, install the optional Network Performance Server (NPS).

Report Groups enable you to define which Custom Poller Collections are reported to NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics. Each Report Group you configure represents a tab in the NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics Report Menu.

Tip You can also use nnmcustompollerconfig.ovpl to create a Custom Poller configuration. When using nnmcustompollerconfig.ovpl to create Custom Poller Policies, you must first create the Node Group to which you want to gather the additional information. Use nnmcustompollerconfig.ovpl to also enable, disable, configure, list, update, and delete Custom Poller configurations.

Caution If you delete a Report Group, NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics removes all historical reporting data associated with that Report Group. To retain the historical reporting data, change the Active State of the associated Custom Poller policy to Suspend. See Create a Policy for more information.

To configure a Report Group:

Navigate to the Report Group form.
1. From the workspace navigation panel, select the Configuration workspace.
2. Expand the Monitoring folder.
3. Select the Custom Poller Configuration form.
4. Select the Report Groups tab.
5. Do one of the following:
  - To create a Report Group, click the New icon, and continue.
  - To edit a Report Group, double-click the row representing the configuration you want to edit, and continue.
  - To delete a Report Group, select a row, and click the Delete icon.
Make your configuration choices (see table).
Click Save and Close to return to the Custom Poller Configuration form.
Create a Report Collection to associate one or more Custom Poller Collections with this Report Group. See Create a Report Collection (NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics) for more information.

To view the Report Collection configuration associated with a selected Report Group, from the Custom Poller Collections or Report Groups tab, select Actions → NNM iSPI Performance → Show Report Configuration. NNMi displays the following information:

Note NNMi displays the Show Report Configuration menu option only if you have an Network Node Manager iSPI Performance for Metrics Software license key installed on the NNMi management server.
- Report Configuration file name
- Report Group unique identifier (UUID)
- Name of the metrics collected by this report configuration
