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 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).

To configure reports and graphs for service types

  1. Open the Service Type Configuration Editor if it is not already open.
