Configure reports and graphs for service types
Configure the reports and graphs you want to associate with a
particular service type using the
Reports and Graphs tab of
the
Properties dialog box. Settings you make here apply to
every service of this type.
A service type is used as a template for individual instances of
an associated service. The reports and graphs you specify for the
service type will be available from all associated services. If you
want to specify additional reports and graphs available for an
individual instance of a service, you can use the Configure
Services editor.
NOTE:
Associating a report with a service type does not create a new
report, but allows you to launch a default report (usually the "
All Systems" report).
