Procedure
1. From the HPE XP7 Performance Advisor main menu, click Reports.
2. In the Reports screen, click Create.

want to create a Host Group-based report, or select Template if you want to create reports based on a
template.
6. From the Report Type, select the report type, and from the File Type, choose the type of file that you
want.
7. Specify a start and end date and time from the respective calendars. If you retain the default date and
time (start date as <current date> 00:00:00 and end date as <current date> 23:59:59), PA generates
the report for the current date starting from 00:00:00 to the time when you initiated the report.

PA does not save the report in its database or display records for the report in the Reports section
(Reports > View Reports). Instead, view only a temporary copy of the report. The report cannot be
retrieved once it is closed. If required, manually save a copy of the report on your system based on the
report file format:
