Create Reports but only for business hours

Post by dkotschan »

Is it possible to create a report "Oversized VM's" but only report on business hours and not roll up the data over a 24 hour period ?

Hello Dieter,
For now, the best way to receive info only for particular hours is to use VMware Raw Performance Data report.
However, we are planning to add the mentioned opportunity in future releases.
For which of existing reports would you like to have the custom time frame option?
Thank you for the feedback!

In addition to this, I guess you want to see it for the entire capacity planning report pack, correct?

I have a question about the business hours in the v8 Capacity Planning report. It defaults to: 12AM to 11PM. Does this mean a full 24 hours? What about the hour between 11PM and midnight? If I choose 12AM to 12AM the report returns no data available for most objects (I presume it's doing 12AM to 12AM the same day). Could you add an option to unselect business hours filtering?

It should work fine, I have verified in my lab. Do you see any data in the report? Can you please clarify for what objects you do not see performance data? Can you check/generate performance reports for the same hosts/clusters?
