About the IBM Connections Forums Report page

The IBM Connections Forums Report is a moderately-configurable report that details several attributes about the Connections instances within the VitalSigns environment.

The report itself can be modified by several different filters:

  • Start Date
  • End Date
  • Servers
  • Select Stat

Start Date denoted the date that the report will start from. Likewise, End Date denotes the date that the report will end at. Servers selects which servers (if multiple) will be included in the report. Select stat will select which stat to display in the report, a list of statistics is as follows:

  • NUM_OF_FORUMS_FORUMS
  • NUM_OF_FORUMS_TOPICS
  • NUM_OF_FORUMS_REPLIES
  • NUM_OF_FORUMS_FORUMS_CREATED_YESTERDAY
  • NUM_OF_FORUMS_TOPICS_CREATED_YESTERDAY
  • NUM_OF_FORUMS_REPLIES_CREATED_YESTERDAY

The report can be configured with any of the above statistics, making for a moderately-configurable report on the status of Forums in the Connections environment. 

Once the filters are applied, the line chart can be drilled down even further by clicking on the individual Servers in the legend at the bottom. This will hide/show those Servers from the line chart.


All Reports can be printed with the "Print Report" button located at the top of every report page.
