7 Configuring the System Reporter Policy Settings
This chapter describes how to edit HP 3PAR System Reporter policies, such as editing the s ampling
policies, adding or removing storage servers from the database, and scheduling reports. These
actions can only be performed using a Web browser and cannot be performed using the System
Reporter Excel client. The end of the chapter also describes how to edit the Apache HTTP Server
configuration files, which hold the Apache HTTP Server usernames and passwords.
Accessing the System Reporter Policies
You can configure and modify policies by clicking on Policy Settings in the System Reporter Main
Menu Window and selecting the appropriate tab from the System Reporter Policies window:
The following options are available from the menu tabs:
•
Sampling Policies -- Configures report sampling policies.
•
InServ Systems -- Specifies the HP 3PAR Storage Systems to include for sampling and subsequent
report generation and optional optimization.
•
Alert Rules -- Specifies alert rules for email reports.
•
Scheduled Reports -- Schedules reports for generation at a specified time.
•
Adaptive Optimization -- Configures the optionally licensed Adaptive Optimization components.
NOTE: For details on configuring Adaptive Optimization, see “Using Adaptive Optimization”
(page 178) .
Configuring Sampling Policies
You can use a Web browser to adjust certain HP 3PAR System Reporter database sampling policies
such as the sampling interval for high-res samples.
Table 54 (page 112) shows a list of policies that you can edit and their default values.
