What reports look like

Looking at reports

A report is a visual representation of the log file information that has been collected and stored in the database for each cache's log files. This log file information is retrieved through a specific set of database queries that are displayed in the report as a table or a graph in XHTML format in a Web browser window or text format in a .TXT file. XHTML files can be opened in Microsoft Word, Excel, or Acrobat Reader.

Looking at the report window and data elements

The following figure shows the table and graph elements of a ContentReporter report and their relationship to queries and data in the ContentReporter database. Item 1 is a visualization of the ContentReporter database. Item 2 shows the two queries that this report uses to search the database. Once the report is processed, any information in the database that pertains to either of these queries is display in table or graph format (See items 3 and 4.) Each table or graph is also comprised of more specific information called data elements. (See items 5 and 6.)
