Text reports display a textual representation of attribute data values that have been processed by the NMS service. You can report on a data center site, grid node, component, or service.
For attribute data that is expected to be continuously changing, this attribute data is sampled by the NMS service (at the source) at regular intervals. For attribute data that changes infrequently (for example, data based on events such as state or status changes), an attribute value is sent to the NMS service when the value changes.
The type of report displayed depends on the configured time period. By default, aggregate text reports are generated for time periods longer than one week.
Gray text indicates the service was administratively down during the time it was sampled. Blue text indicates the service was in an unknown state.
