Exporting URL-Based Report Data
Using Reports
The Reports tab displays information about your devices. You can save and email reports. You can also set specific times for emailed reports to be run and sent automatically.
The reports available are dependent on the groups of devices and individual devices you choose from the selector in the left pane.
Following are the subtabs under Reports:
Note
Some of the subtabs may not be visible to some users.

The WLSE also has a feature that allows the system administrator, with the username admin, to manually enter a URL in the WLSE to export report data, rather than using the UI export function. For information, see Exporting URL-Based Report Data.
Using the Device Center
The device center enables you to quickly access various types of reports for a particular device.
The search results, as well as the folders in the device selector, display icons indicating the alarm status of the devices. For an explanation of the icons, see Understanding the Icons.
For information about the folders for device groups in the device selector, see System-Defined Groups.
