In Spotlight Reporting and Trending, you can access views and reports to assist with long-term trend analysis and associated reporting. By configuring the Spotlight Diagnostic Server to store statistics in the Spotlight Statistics Repository, you can retrieve the data via views and reports
Views display data stored in the Spotlight Statistics Repository in the form of charts and tables. The charts and tables are grouped into logical categories that help you analyze the collected data. Views are different to drilldowns in that they show long-term data collected over time, not real-time data.
Reports also display data stored in the Spotlight Statistics Repository and are displayed in the Spotlight Report Viewer. These reports are designed to provide you with a starting point for meeting your reporting requirements and can be modified to suit your needs.
To view the data collected by Spotlight in the Reporting and Trending portal, you must configure the Spotlight Statistics Repository.
Note: It is important to implement a good maintenance routine to ensure the Spotlight Statistics Repository is optimized and free of inconsistencies. See "Maintenance Plan for Spotlight Statistics Repository and Playback Database" (page 1) for more information.
