Report Information

Report Name Enter a name for your report. The report name should be unique.

The name can contain a mix of alphabets, numerals, and some special characters (such as - _ .).

E-Mail ID Enter e-mail address to which the job sends messages regarding job status.

The e-mail address must be in the format: [email protected].

You can enter multiple e-mail addresses, separated by comma or semicolon.

Configure the SMTP server to send e-mails in the System Preferences dialog box (Admin > System > SMTP Default Server).

We recommend that you configure the Cisco Prime e-mail ID in the System Preferences dialog box (Admin > System > System Preferences.

When the job starts or completes, an e-mail is sent with the Cisco Prime e-mail ID as the sender address.

Attach Report Select this check box to attach the report as a CSV file. By default a CSV file is sent to the e-mail address specified in the E-Mail ID field. If you select Add Full Report check box, instead of CSV a PDF format of the report will be sent as an attachment to the specified e-mail id.

You need to enable the e-mail Attachment check box and specify the Maximum Attachment size in the System Preferences dialog box (Admin > System > System Preferences) to send the report as an e-mail.

If the file size exceeds the Maximum Attachment size, the URL link of the report is sent as an e-mail. You can click the URL link to view the report.




OL-25942-01


Step 2 Click Create.

The EnergyWise Device Power Usage report job appears at the bottom of the page.

Report Publish Path Use the Default Path check box to publish the report at a specific location.

• If you select the Default Path check box, it publishes the report in the default directory path.

• If you de-select the Default Path check box, it allows you to specify a directory path to which the report is published. If the directory path is not specified, then the report will be published to:

– For Windows: $NMSROOT\MDC\tomcat\webapps\upm\reports

– For Solaris: $NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/upm/reports

– For Soft Appliance: $NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/upm/reports

A PDF format of the report (along with HTML and CSV formats) is published to the specified location.

Note Cisco Prime LMS does not support Japanese characters and special characters such as, \ / : * ? “ < > . ! % in the file or folder name.

Add Full Report Use the Add Full Report check box to create a PDF format of the report.

If you select this check box along with Attach Report check box, a PDF format of the report will be sent as an attachment to the specified e-mail id. If the file size exceeds the Maximum Attachment size, then a CSV file will only be sent as an attachment along with the URL link of the HTML report. You can download the PDF format of the report using the Export option provided in the HTML report.

The PDF format of the report takes longer time to generate as it includes the report for all the polled devices.

Scheduling large PDF reports daily, results high CPU and memory usage. We recommend that you schedule small PDF reports at optimal time intervals.

Generating a PoE ReportPower over Ethernet (PoE) is the ability of the LAN switching infrastructure to provide power over a copper Ethernet cable to an endpoint (Powered device).

You can view a PoE report with detailed information of PoE-enabled devices managed by LMS.

PoE-enabled devices satisfy the following conditions:

• Device types for PoE devices based on the SysOjectId

For more information, see PoE capable devices with SysObjectIds

• Support for PoE-specific MIBs

For more information, see PoE-specific MIBs

• Successful retrieval of values from specific MIB variables from the MIBs in those devices.

For periodic jobs, the subsequent instances of jobs will run only after the earlier instance of the job is complete.

For example, if you have scheduled a daily job at 10:00 a.m. on November 1, the next instance of this job will run at 10:00 a.m. on November 2, only if the earlier instance of the November 1 job has been completed. If the 10.00 a.m. November 1 job is not completed before 10:00 a.m. November 2, then the next job will start only at 10:00 a.m. on November 3.

If you select Immediate, all other options are disabled.

The following Medianet default layouts are available after a fresh install:

• Digital Media Player Standard—Standard layout for Digital Media Player (DMP) endpoints

• IP Video Surveillance Camera Standard—Standard layout for IP Video Surveillance Camera (IPVSC) endpoints

• Medianet Endpoints Standard—Standard layout for all Medianet endpoint types.

Medianet Endpoint Inventory ReportThe Medianet Endpoint Inventory Report provides information about the Medianet endpoints such as the subnets on which LMS has detected the endpoints, any state changes, and the number of discrepancies found associated with the port. The details of the report vary according to the layout that you choose.

You can use this information to register the Medianet endpoints in Medianet management systems like Cisco Digital Media Manager (DMM) or Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM).

To generate this report:

Step 1 Select Reports > Technology > Medianet.

Step 2 Select the required devices using the Device Selector or Group Selector.

Step 3 Select the Endpoint type. You can choose to generate reports for
