Creating Reports

Performance Manager offers reports that quickly and easily transform data into intuitive charts and graphs.

Reports are created using either BIRT RCP Designer, an open-source, Eclipse-based report tool, or Microsoft Excel report templates. Performance Manager is tightly integrated with BIRT RCP Designer to make it easy for you to generate reports on performance monitoring data. The reporting functionality in Performance Manager is highly customizable. Numerous pre-installed report templates provide out-of-the-box options for a wide range of reporting needs. Simple GUI-based tools allow you to edit the pre-installed reports and create reports of your own. For users with SQL knowledge, there is virtually no limit to how data can be queried and presented in custom reports.

Tip: If a blank report is generated, the cause may be that there are not any data in the project you selected, or you may not be connected to the appropriate Performance Manager database. Reports are not available offline unless your Performance Manager database is accessible locally.
