Reports ======= Manage and review diagnostic data for your monitored servers. Postgres Enterprise Manager (PEM) provides two distinct reporting frameworks to suit your diagnostic needs. :ref:`Custom report templates ` ------------------------------------------------------------- The **Custom Reports** framework allows you to design and execute bespoke diagnostic templates. By combining SQL queries and host-level scripts, you can extract specific insights tailored to your unique infrastructure requirements. - **User-defined logic** \_ Build templates from the ground up using SQL or shell/batch scripts. - **Hierarchical structure** \_ Organize data into logical sections and items for clear reporting. - **Portability** \_ Export and import templates via JSON for easy migration across environments. :ref:`Viewing system reports ` ---------------------------------------------------------- **System Reports** are the pre-defined, built-in diagnostic tools provided by PEM. These reports offer out-of-the-box analysis of database performance, security audits, and configuration states. - **Standardized metrics** \_ Access industry-standard reports for database health and activity. - **No configuration required** \_ Execute immediate diagnostics without the need for custom script writing. - **Deep integration** \_ Fully integrated with PEM’s alerting and monitoring history. .. Note :: To run a report, simply right-click a **Target Server** in the PEM Browser tree and navigate to the relevant report category. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 USING--reports--custom_reports USING--reports--reports
