A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Create a Report Collection (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 Collections enable you to specify a Custom Poller Collection to be associated with a Report Group as well as the type of data that is being collected. You can create one or more Report Collections for a Report Group.

Caution If you delete a Report Collection, NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics removes all historical reporting data for that Report Collection.

To configure a Report Collection:

Navigate to the Report Collection form.
1. From the workspace navigation panel, select the Configuration workspace.
2. Expand the Monitoring folder.
3. Select the Custom Poller Configuration form.
4. Locate the Report Groups tab.
5. Do one of the following:
  - To create a Report Group, click the New icon.
  - To edit a Report Group, double-click the row representing the configuration you want to edit.
Select the Report Collections tab.
Do one of the following:
- To create a Report Collection, click the New icon.
- To edit a Report Collection, double-click the row representing the configuration you want to edit.
- Make your configuration choices (see table).
Click Save and Close to return to the Custom Poller Configuration form.

To verify that Custom Poller is working as expected, see the report on the Custom Poller tab in Help → System Information.

To view the Report Collection configuration associated with the selected Report Collection, 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
Note If the Report Collection displays data as a different type than expected, check the MIB OID Types table in the Configuration workspace. The NNMi administrator can override the MIB OID Type values generated by Custom Poller. See Override MIB OID Types for more information.

Custom PollerReport Collection Attributes
Attribute	Description
Custom Poller Collection	Specifies a Custom Poller Collection that should be associated with the Report Group you are configuring. Click the Lookup icon, and do one of the following: To specify a Custom Poller Collection, select Quick Find . In the Quick Find dialog, select the Custom Poller Collection of interest. To create a Custom Poller Collection, click the New icon. To edit a Custom Poller Collection, select a row, click the Open icon. When specifying a Custom Poller Collection, note the following: A Custom Poller Collection can be associated with only one Report Group. If you associate more than one Custom Poller Collection with the same Report Group, make sure the combination of Collections will generate a meaningful report. Use the following general guidelines: Select Collections with MIB Variables that are indexed in the same MIB table. For example, you might group a collection that includes power supply information, such as UPS line voltage (upsInputVoltage and upsOuputVoltage), UPS line current (upsInputCurrent and upsOutputCurrent) and UPS line power (upsInputPower and upsOutputPower). Select Collections with MIB Variables that are stored in different MIBs, but that would be useful to visualize together at an aggregate level. For example, you might choose to group power supply line load (upsOutputPercentLoad) and power supply battery temperature (upsBatteryTemperature). Select Collections representing the same index value or similar data across Custom Poller Collections. For example, you might want to examine environment sensor information (such as temperature, humidity, dew point, airflow, and audible sounds such as alarms), in the same report even though this information comes from different MIBs. As soon as the Report Collection is saved, NNMi updates the information in the NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics Report Menu.
