14. Basic Reports

You can create and manage basic reports in Motadata. These are the simple reports that show the statistics of the counter for a given monitor in a given time range. For example: you can see the percentage of packet loss in a SNMP Device in a given time frame.

Sample Basic Report

Report Showing Packet Loss Percent in selected SNMP device for 1 month

If you select multiple monitors and/or multiple counters, the Motadata will do a combination of all counters with monitors. If there is data available for the combination, Motadata will display it as a report. When there is no data in a combination, Motadata doesn’t display graph for it.
