Reporting - Multivalue variables - example
An important feature in MonitorMagic is the use of multivalue variables. In this chapter we will
show you how to make optimal use of variables.
In MonitorMagic it is possible to use as many variables as you want within report templates, even
within report items you can use more than one variable. This makes the reporting in MonitorMagic
very flexible. You can create overviews per computer, per week, per resource, per processor, per
error type, per whatever you want.
We will explain the use of the multivalue variable with an example. For this example see the
predefined template all systems overview per computer in the monthly overview folder in the
template tree. For this example we copied and pasted this example to the computers overview
folder and adjusted the contents to make the example simpler.
In the example we want to create a report in which the disk space of the computers in the network
for the months February and March will be presented. To get all the computers in the network we
use the variable query %COMPUTER%.
The next query will find all the computers for which information is stored in the table
MonitorDiskDefinition.
