Creating a new schedule of reports

2. Under Reporting, click on Schedule Reports. If reports have been already scheduled, the schedule details would be listed. Else, it would prompt you to create new schedule.
3. Give a name for the schedule
4. Enter the description of the schedule
5. By default, the schedule for the report is enabled.
6. Choose the Report Type like Availability report, Downtime history report.
7. Select the Report period.
8. Choose whether you want report for monitor types, monitor groups or for individual monitors. Accordingly, the resources will be listed down. Select the resource for which the report is expected.
9. Set the time for the reports to be delivered.
   For eg., If you want the health report of database servers to be delivered for every 2 hours, choose the 'Periodic' option and set the number of hours as '2' from the dropdown. By doing this, the report will be delivered for every 2 hours starting from 00.00 hours (i.e.) report will be delivered at 02.00, 04.00, 06.00 hours and so on. Similarly, you can schedule it for 15/30/45 minutes, 1 hour and 3/4/6/8/12 hours.
   If you want the report to be delivered everyday at 10.00 a.m, choose 'Daily' option and set the time as '10.00'. You can also configure multiple time schedules (upto 10) if required.
   If you want the report to be delivered every monday at 10.00 a.m, choose 'Weekly' option, set time as '10.00' and choose 'Monday' option.
   If you want the report to be delivered every month on 15th day at 10.00 a.m, choose 'Monthly' option, set time as '10.00', choose '15' from the day list and select all for the report to be delivered every month. (You can select individual months also)
   Note: The Hourly option has been renamed as Periodic from Applications Manager version v178100.
10. Select whether you want to send the report as email attachment or publish as URL links.
    The Save to folder option will help you to store the reports in a custom folder; both in local and network.
    By default, <APM_HOME>\working\ReportFiles directory is used for Custom folder path. You can also configure the custom path if required.
    For Network folder path configuration, refer the prerequisites.
    Network folder path configuration is supported in both Windows and Linux, with the path format as follows:
    
    • Windows: \\host\path\to\folder
    • Linux: user@host:/path/to/folder
    • Select whether you want to receive the report as PDF files or in CSV format.
