What is the Device Reports Panel?

The Device Reports panel allows you to view detailed information that SL1 has gathered from each device and view reports generated from that information. The Device Reports panel is for viewing information, rather than for administering the device.

To access the Device Reports panel for a device:

Go to the Device Manager page (Devices > Device Manager)).

In the Device Manager page, find the device for which you want to view the Device Reports panel. Select its bar graph () icon.

The Device Reports panel includes the following tabs and pages:

Tab	Description
Summary	The Device Summary page provides a one-stop overview of a device. This page displays one or more Device Dashboards that are aligned with the device. To switch between the dashboards that are available for a device, select a dashboard in the Device Dashboard drop-down list in the upper-left of the page.
Performance	The Device Performance page allows you to view many detailed reports for the selected device, including reports on availability, latency, CPU usage, memory usage, file system usage, network interfaces and bandwidth usage, domain name availability, Email round-trip speed, SOAP/XML transactions, system-process availability, TCP/IP Port availability, web content availability, and custom reports based on data collected from the device by Dynamic Applications.
Topology	The Device View page displays a map of the device and all of the devices with which the device has relationships. These relationships include: Layer -2 devices and their clients; Layer-3 devices and Layer-2 devices; hypervisors and their virtual machines; network devices that use CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) or LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) and devices that are specified as neighbors in CDP tables or LLDP tables; links between network devices that use CDP or LLDP and devices that are specified as neighbors in CDP tables or LLDP tables; device relationships created with Dynamic Applications; manually created parent-child relationships that affect event correlation.
Configs	The Configuration Report page displays configuration information collected by Dynamic Applications. All objects of type "config" are included in the Configuration Report page. In the Dynamic Applications \| Collections Objects page (System > Manage > Applications > Collections), users can define which objects will be grouped together, which table each object will appear in, and whether SL1 will track changes in each object's value.
Journals	The Journal View page displays journal entry information collected from the device by journal Dynamic Applications. For details on the Journal View page, see the Snippet Dynamic Application section.
Interfaces	The Interfaces Found page displays detailed information about the network interfaces on the device.
Logs	The Device Logs & Messages page displays all the messages SL1 has generated about the device.
Events	The Viewing Active Events page displays a list of all events associated with the device. For details on events, see the Events section.
Tickets	The Ticket History page displays a list of all tickets, both open and resolved, associated with the device. For details on tickets and ticket administration, see the Ticketing section.

Processes	The System Processes page displays information about the processes running on the device.
Services	The Windows Services page displays a list of all Windows services enabled on the device.
TCP Ports	The Port Security page displays a list of all open ports on a device. Every night, SL1 scans all the ports of each managed device. If any new ports are opened, SL1 adds the port to the list in the Port Security page.
Organization	Leads to the Organizational Summary page and the Organization Administration panel, where you can view and edit details about the organization associated with the device. For details on organizations and organization administration, see the Organizations and Users section.
Asset	Leads to the Asset Properties page and the Asset Administration panel, where you can view and edit the asset record for the device. For details on asset records and asset administration, see the Asset Management section.

Device Dashboards in the Device Summary Page

In addition to the default dashboard for a device, you can also view other device dashboards in the Device Summary page. The other dashboards that are available for a device are based on the device class and device category assigned to the device and the Dynamic Applications to which the device is subscribed.

To view a device dashboard other than the global default device dashboard:

Go to the Device Manager page (Devices > Device Manager).
In the Device Manager page, find the device for which you want to view the Device Summary page. Select its bar graph () icon.
The Device Summary page appears, displaying either the global default device dashboard or the device dashboard that has been manually assigned to this device.

To select a different device dashboard, select the drop-down menu in the upper-left corner of the Device Summary page:

Device Dashboards are defined in the Device Dashboards page (System > Customize > Device Dashboards) and aligned with the device in the Device Properties page (Devices> Device Manager > wrench icon) in the Dashboard field:

For information on how to create a device dashboard and how to align it to a device, device class, device category, or a Dynamic Application, see the section on Device Dashboards.
