Report Writer Time Frame Options tab (deprecated SolarWinds Platform feature)

This topic applies to all SolarWinds Platform products except for the following products:

ETSLAWPM

In Orion Platform 2020.2.6, the Report Writer tool is removed from the SolarWinds Platform. Migrate the reports to the web and use the web-based reports.

You can limit the scope of your report to a specific period of time. To configure Time Frame options, select a Named, Relative, or Specific Time Frame, and then select or provide required values.

  • If you receive a SQL Timeout error message, you may edit the timeout setting in the SWNetPerfMon.db file. By default, this file is located in the C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion directory.
  • Because the Relative Time Frame is continuously variable, reports run with it may show different results, even if they are run close together in time.
