Reporting on historical Data

I have been capturing historical data and want to report on it using a new report, but there are no options to select fields.
How can you report on historical data?

Write your own SQL Queries at this point.
There's a document on Writing your own reports that gives details of the tables etc.
Start at:

You can also use excel, you'll need ODBC to connect to the IM Database.

If you have Insight Manager SP1 or preferably SP2, there is a built-in reporting engine so you don't have to have any SQL query knowledge at all.
Make your life easier and upgrade to SP2.
