LMS 4.0 Report Customization

[J. kevin Blackburn]

Is there a way, in LMS 4.0, to customize the report output? I have my report from a poller giving me interface utilization statistics, but the report does not display the interface description. A report that shows, for example, G0/0/0 on a 3845 router will not do my management much good as it doesn't tell them what the interface is connected to or what it is for.

I expect there is a way to customize the output of reports, but I don't see it in the doc.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, this level of customization does not yet exist for the Device/Interface performance reports.

I have a follow-up question.

The reports are showing the IP address for the devices and in a very small group of devices have the dns resolved name instead.

Can I change that so that in the reports I see the hostname for the Display namefield?

[Joe Clarke]

Reports will general show the Display Name.  To get the Display Name to show the hostname, you will need to tweak your Discovery settings or manually set things in DCR.  See https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9005 for more on DCR Discovery settings.  If you need further help doing this, please start a new thread.

If I read this doc correctly, I can get the display name to be the sysname if I do the initial discovery correctly.  But that does not seem to change things if the discovery has already been done.

There would seem to be a way to also do this using the dcrcli utility to modify the dn variable.  but there is scetchy documentation on exactly how this utility should work.

once in the utility I should be able to issue a command like

mod -useDefault=1 di=1 dn=routername

but the problem I have is that I am not sure of the correct value to use with the -useDefault= parameter.

Any ideas?

[Joe Clarke]

A subsequent discovery will reset the display name provided you've configured Discovery to update the DCR display name.  This is discussed in the document.

The -useDefault parameter refers to a default credential set name.  If you want to apply a default credential set, specify the name as the argument to this parameter.
