SIM Reporting

[Paul DeConti_1]

I am trying to generate a report for System Uptime in SIM. When I attempt to run this report a page comes up with no data, just a grey and white grid. No data is in the grid, no system names or anything. Does anyone know how to use the reporting feature or is there any literature on using the reporting feature. I have attached a paint file of what the empty grid looks like. I have over 500 servers that I monitor. Some servers that are monitored reboot daily. Nothing is listed.

I'm not sure how the Uptime gets populated.

The Reports tables are typically updated by the Bi-Weekly task, but I've noticed that certainly the System Boottime is updated more frequently.

It may be this data is obtained via the WMI interface, in which case you'll need valid credentials in the WBEM Global (or System) Protocol settings.

I do have values in the Uptime field. Interestingly the SQL seems to pick this up from a Unix Reports table, even when I specify my Windows Servers. The value does not seem to correspond to the Boot time, but I need to do a bit more work on assessing the time.

I will try the WBEM credentials.

Worked great. Thanks for the help!
