Historical reporting

Overview of historical data collection and reporting
Use historical data collection and reporting to gather useful metrics about your managed network. You can also use historical data with the chart baselining tools for predictive analysis and in situation modeling for key performance indicators.

Setting a time span to display
You can have the Tivoli Enterprise Portal log data samplings into history files or a database for display in a table or chart. These historical data enabled views have a tool for setting a range of previous data samples to be reported.

Discontinuing historical reporting
For views that have a time span set to show data samplings over a range of time, you can remove the time span and display real-time data only.

Turning on historical navigation mode
Use historical navigation mode to synchronize workspaces and retain the same time period as you switch from one workspace to another.

Historical collection configuration
To make historical data available for reporting in workspace views, you must configure and start historical data collection for the appropriate products and attribute groups. This is done through the History Collection Configuration window.
