MMR Reports

MMR Reports allows you to view and manage alerts and reports. Both alerts and
reports analyze performance metrics on the systemÕs hardware, application, and
security. However, alerts and reports are distinct: alerts have thresholds and reports
have Þlters. Due to their thresholds, alerts indicate problems which need immediate
attention. MMR tests for alert conditions after a download; when a predeÞned
threshold is met or exceeded, an alert is triggered. ReportsÕ Þlters allow you to set
speciÞc parameters for queries. As a result, you can deÞne the scope of information
that a report contains. In the main window of MMR Reports, alerts and reports
appear in the Alert and Report palettes.
MMR Reports gives you the capabilities to view and print reports, customize the
Alert and Report palettes, create a schedule for printing reports, and modify the
download schedules of Operation Measurements.
These capabilities are explained in Chapter 4, ÒUsing MMR and its Online Help,Ó
as well as in the online help provided with MMR.
In Chapters 5 through 12, you will Þnd overviews of each report including
¥ Þeld deÞnitions
¥ an example of the report
¥ output sort keys
¥ analysis and corrective actions
These eight report chapters will be very useful for analyzing Meridian Mail usage
patterns and for preventing potential problems.
