Real-time reports run in real-time on the backup/recovery appliances. This is different from other reports in Report Manager, which look at cached data that has been synchronized from each backup/recovery appliance. This allows real-time reports to show you the current state of each appliance. We offer a rich set of real-time reports, some of which contain data that is not available from other reports.
From the real-time reports tab, you can:
Run and schedule real-time reports
This section describes how to run and schedule consolidated real-time reports for the set of backup/recovery appliances selected.
The Run & Schedule Real-time Reports page lists all real-time reports and their description on the left side of the page. It also displays all the backup/recovery appliances that support real-time reporting. Using this page, you can search for the required real-time report from the list of reports, view the help of each real-time report by clicking the help icon adjacent to each report's name, view the report for the selected appliance on the UI, download the report into a spreadsheet, and schedule the report.
