About reporting utility

The NetVault Backup reporting utility provides a selection of canned reports that can be generated and viewed in HTML, text, and Comma Separated Value (CSV) formats. For more information about reports, see Reporting in NetVault Backup.

NetVault Backup uses the Statistics Manager (nvstatsmngr) and Reports Database Manager (nvrepdbmngr) processes to gather and transmit data for the canned reports:

•
Statistics Manager: This process runs on the NetVault Backup Server and Client machines. The Statistics Manager collects drive statistics, event history, media requests, server capacity, and transfer information.
•
Reports Database Manager: This process runs only on the NetVault Backup Server. The Reports Database Manager polls the Statistics Manager at regular intervals to retrieve the collected data, and writes the data to the Reports Database. It provides the information in the reports database to the reporting utility and performs periodic purging of the reports database.

You can customize the report templates and change the default settings for the Statistics Manager and Reports Database Manager from the NetVault Backup WebUI.

Customizing HTML report templates

NetVault Backup uses built-in templates to format the output for HTML reports. You can customize these templates to apply various formatting styles. The formatting styles are applied globally to all HTML report templates. Only users having a good knowledge of HTML should configure these settings. Improper configuration can cause NetVault Backup to produce incorrect output.

To customize the output format for HTML reports:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
Under User Interface, click Reporting. In the Reporting dialog box, under HTML Text Output, configure the following settings:
•
Pre-text for HTML output of plain text
