PDF Summary Report (Missing Custom Reports/Widgets)

CHammock — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:48:41 GMT

It has been a few versions since I played with PDF summary reports however, I am currently running version 5.0.5 and in the GUI if I go and create a PDF summary report there is no 6th drop down for custom reports as I remember and as shown in the help window.

I guess these are classed as custom widgets. I have made the assumption this is an "oversight" of the developers so have tried to configure in the CLI with set pdf-summary-report TestSum custom-widget Test where TestSum is my pdf summary report name and Test is my custom report name but I get the output "Server error : custom-widget -> Test 'Test' is not a valid reference"

So my two questions are,

1. Is there a bug for the lack of custom report drop down in the GUI

2 What am I doing wrong with my syntax in the CLI for adding the custom report to the PDF summary report.

As ever any input is greatly appreciated

Good Morning,

We get the drop down box, only after creating a custom report. So I first created a custom report Test on the GUI ( Moniotr-->Manage Custom report ). Then when I click on the Manage PDF summary tab and click on add, I get the 6th column. Bear in mind that only 18 widgets are supported at a time, and hence you will have to delete a couple of predefined items, before you can add the custom pdf report.

Hope that helps!

Karthik

On similar lines,

You have to create a custom report on the cli, using the command:

admin@41-PA-4020(active)# set reports Test type traffic

+ group-by group-by

+ sortby sortby

> aggregate-by aggregate-by

> labels labels

> values values

<Enter> Finish input

admin@41-PA-4020(active)# set reports Test type traffic

Only after the above step will you be able to add "Test" under the pdf-summary-report, as shown below:

admin@41-PA-4020(active)# set pdf-summary-report TestSum custom-widget

Test custom-reports Test

admin@41-PA-4020(active)# set pdf-summary-report TestSum custom-widget Test

[edit]

admin@41-PA-4020(active)#

admin@41-PA-4020(active)# run show config diff

Karthik,

I also thought this may be the case so created a custom report but was still not able to see the tab. Maybe it is the report type I am creating which is wrong. What report did you create (database, parameters etc)?

Thanks

Chris

i'm also dealing with some issues with the PDF summary. i created a custom report, and do have the "custom report" widget in the dropdown, but when i run it, my custom report is ignored. i even tried removing all of the other widgets, leaving only my custom - but still nothing!

what i am trying to acomplish is a summary report, but with a bigger time span, not just one day!

this is really horrible
