Report Viewer

Getting Started

By default, the Report Viewer Widget will try to connect to the web reports on the local host. If it is unable to reach the web reports or the web reports do not exist at that location the Welcome screen will be presented.

To configure the widget, right-click anywhere on the widget and select Widget Preferences.

Preferences

The Report Viewer Widget is designed to display Custom Reports created in the web reports. As a result, the widget will need to be configured to access a report in the web reports.

URL

This should point to the base URL of your EventSentry Web Reports.

Profile

The Profile that contains the computers you are interested in viewing with the widget. By default the profile will be called DEFAULT.

Report Name

Any Custom Report name that is available under the provided Profile. To see a list of reports go to Event > Reports in the web reports. The Report Viewer Widget will honor the hidden column preferences in the Custom Report.

Report Limit

This option will limit the number of records returned from the report and loaded in the widget. This will override the querylimit value that may have been saved with the report.

Refresh rate (min)

This slider will control how often the widgets connect to the EventSentry Web Reports and check for new values. The options range from 1 minute to 1 hour.
