Orion Network Performance Monitor‘s (NPM) advanced reporting engine enables you to quickly generate custom network reports that can be printed or viewed on the web. Shipping with numerous built-in reports, Orion NPM makes it easy to report on performance data over specific time periods or by network segment.
If you can’t find a network report that matches your criteria, check out thwack, SolarWinds online community, where customers have generated hundreds of reports that you can easily import into Orion. Plus, you can quickly customize built-in network reports and community-generated templates using Orion NPM’s slick interface, or you can even create completely customized reports using SQL commands. Orion NPM's reports can be modified to limit the information contained in the report by user profile, enabling you to generate reports for specific departments or recipients.
Orion NPM's network report creation utility is simple to use and walks you through the process of either using an existing report or creating a custom report from scratch. These network reports help you monitor availability, performance, and utilization statistics, as well as project future trends and capacity needs.
