Administrators can schedule the production of activity reports and LUNs Mapping Table reports every day at a specific time. The information retrieved as a text file can later be used by other tools such as BMC Capacity Optimization.
To schedule reports:
| 1. | Right-click the KM main icon > KM Commands > Reporting > Reports Scheduling. The Reports Scheduling wizard appears: |
Scheduling Reports
| 2. | Specify the time when the reports are automatically generated |
| 3. | Check the Activity report type to automatically generate the following reports: |
| ▪ | Disk Array Activity: Reports on Read and Write Bytes for all monitored disk arrays |
| ▪ | Controller Activity: Reports on Transfer Bytes for all monitored controllers |
| ▪ | Fiber Port Activity: Reports on Transfer Bytes for all monitored fiber ports |
| ▪ | Storage Pool Activity: Reports on Read and Write Bytes for all monitored storage pools |
| ▪ | Volume Activity: Reports on Read and Write Bytes for all monitored volumes |
| 4. | Select LUNs Mapping Table to list mapped and unmapped LUNs |
The generated file(s) are time-stamped and stored in %PATROL_HOME%\log for the specific time set through the History Retention Period parameter.
 The history retention period can be set from the PATROL Console or from the PATROL Agent using a configuration variable. The default collection (retention) period is one day. Whenever a stored parameter value exceeds its retention period, it is automatically deleted from the parameter history file. Refer to BMC documentation for details.
