Overview

While up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor offers powerful reporting features, you may want to generate reports that use a specific set of data or a custom report format. Using Crystal Reports, you can retrieve data from the up.time DataStore and use it to create reports that meet your individual requirements.

1. Start Crystal Reports and click the Standard Report Wizard icon.

   The following window should appear:

   

2. In the Data Source column of the Standard Report Creation Wizard window, expand the Create New Connection and ODBC (RDO) folders.
3. Double-click Make New Connection.

   The Data Source Selection window should appear:

   

4. In the Data Source Name list, click up.time Uptime Infrastructure Monitor and then click Next.
5. When prompted for a user ID and password, enter reports and reports and then click Finish.
6. The connection will appear in the Make New Connection window. Expand the connection and double-click Add Command.

   The Add Command to Report window should appear.

7. Enter the following code in the column in the left portion of the window:

   Code Block
   language sql
   select e.display_name, avg(p.cpu_usr + p.cpu_sys + p.cpu_wio),  DATE(s.sample_time)  from performance_samples, performance_aggregate p, entity e  where s.id = p.sample_id  and e.entity_id = s.uptimehost_id  and s.sample_time > "2010-11-23"  and s.sample_time < DATE_ADD("2010-11-23", INTERVAL 7 DAY)  group by DATE(s.sample_time), e.display_name  order by DATE(s.sample_time), e.display_name;

   This example will report on the CPU workload average for all systems over the seven day period from 2010-11-23 to 2010-11-30.

8. Click OK after you change the range to suit your needs.

   The Standard Report Creation Wizard will start.
