Adding a New Uptime Summary/Outage List Report

To add a New Uptime Summary/Outage List report:

1. In the main navigation, click Reports.
   The Reports screen opens.
2. Click + Add. 
   The Create New Report window is displayed:
   
3. In the Info section, in the Name field, enter a name for the new report.
4. In the Tags field, select one or more of the predefined Tags from the drop-down list. This will determine who is authorized to access this Report.
   Tags are used for access control. By selecting a Tag you are relating this Report to that Tag. Tags are associated with certain roles (through the Users & Roles screen), and roles, in turn, are associated with users and user groups. If you would like to create a new Tag, see Creating a Tag.
5. In the Configuration section, under Report Type, select Uptime Summary / Outage List.
6. Under Types, select the type of object that you would like to include in the Report. Options are: Sources (default) or Targets.
7. In the Granularity field, select from the drop-down list the unit of time by which the data will be broken down. Possible values are: Hour, Day or Week (default).

8. Under Select Time Period By, select the time period of the report. Options are: Period (default), Month, Quarter or Custom Range.

   The Time Period settings included in the report configuration are applied as the default time period when you generate a run of this report. However, while generating the report you have the option of adjusting the time period.

   • For Period, select from the drop-down list the time period that will be included in the report.
   • For Month, select from the drop-down list the month for which the report will be generated.
   • For Quarter, select from the drop-down list the quarter for which the report will be generated.
   • For Custom Range, select:
     1. In the From Date field, select the date from which data is included in the report.
     2. In the To Date field, select the date until which data is included in the report.
9. In the Time Zone field, select from the drop-down list the time zone on which the report schedule is based.
10. In the Filter section, in the Bitrate Threshold [kbps] field, enter the minimum bitrate for streams to be included in the report.

11. In the Outage Conditions section, select the checkbox by each condition to be included in the report. Possible conditions are: Not Recovered Packets, Connections, TR101 Continuity Count Error, Frozen Video, Blank Picture, Silent Audio and Audio Clipping.

    For reports about Targets, Not Recovered Packets and Connections are the only conditions available.

12. In the Only Show Objects With Selected Tags field, select from the drop-down list the Tags associated with the objects you would like to include in the report.
    • Select the Match All radio button if you want only objects that contain all selected Tags to be included in the report.
    • Select the Match Any radio button if you want objects that contain any of the selected Tags to be included in the report.

13. In the Do Not Show Objects With Selected Tags field, select from the drop-down list the Tags associated with the objects you would not like included in the report.

    These fields relate to defining the content of the Report as opposed to the Tag field discussed in step 4, which controls access to the report itself.

14. In the Name Filter (include) field, enter text to be used as a filter for elements to include in the Report.
15. In the Name Filter (exclude) field, enter text to be used as a filter for elements to exclude from the Report.

16. In the Status field, select from the drop-down list the statuses of objects to be included in the report.

    The default setting is to include all statuses. Once a status has been removed, it can be re-included by selecting it from the dropdown list.

17. Click Save.
    The new Uptime Summary/Outage List report is created.
