Dear CommVault:  The report you provide with your product are very confusing.  If possible, I believe it would be helpful for customers if there was consistency between the various ways that reports are accessed.

For example:  When I remote into my CommServer host and browse to http://localhost/webconsole, I can find a very informative graph showing growth in my disk library:

However, If I use a browser on my desktop and connect to my CommServer, I don't see the above report as an option:

Finally, if I go to cloud.commvault.com, there is a growth report but it is missing the graph showing historical growth:

I would sincerely appreciate if the reporting could be standardized so that clients don't have to go to three different locations and search amoung several reports in the hopes of finding one that they can use.

Thanks

I looked into this about six months ago and I concur.

It does seem that in order to get statistics on library growth that you have to rely on metrics collection intervals.  This is because Commvault concluded that the CommServ DB table MMLibraryHistory did not populate correctly if the data is deduped and it also came with a performance hit in larger Commvault environments.  There is a CMR logged to possibly address this in a future service pack.

Hello Ken,

did you login with the same account to when using http://localhost/webconsole and when you accessed the URL from a remote machine. ?

or dont use localhost and use the Hostname (login as admin)and see if you find the report. 

 We have around 200 Reports on Commvault Store that can be installed on Private Reporting server as required. All these reports are customizable by the end user.

https://store.commvault.com/Reports

Cloud will not have these reports and will have only the Canned Metrics Reports and that's the reason why you dont see this report on cloud. from the screenshots i see that you dont have Metrics reporting sever installed in your environment. Metrics Reporting server will give you historical trending and Chargeback reports.

Hello Venkat,

Yes, you are correct, I am using different accounts.  On my desktop I am authenticated as KHemmerling but when connected to the CommServer I have to use my administrator account:  A-KHemmerling.  If I run a browser as A-KHemmerling on my desktop, I see the same reports.  If possible, can you provide a link that shows where this security is configured?  Ideally I'd like to have my two accounts see the same thing.

On the CommServer, switching between http://localhost/webconsole and http://<commserver_name>/webconsole provided the exact same list of reports.

I'll review the links you provided.  Thanks for your help.

Hello Venkat,

I can now see the Library Growth report when using the browser on my desktop under my normal account.  Unfortunately, when I run the report, it comes up blank.  Any suggestions on where the problem is?

Ken

I get "No data available". 

Using my regular account I can run the Console, see the libraries, and right-click > Properties > Disk Usage (tab) and see the free space.

Hello Venkat,

The report appeared incomplete in the browser on my desktop but after a bit of patience and a few refreshes it looks perfect.  Thanks for your help.
