Viewing a Discrepancy Summary report

The Discrepancy Summary report summarizes current discrepancies (for example, Running versus Startup) for a network span.

To generate a Discrepancy Summary report

1. Open the Discrepancy Summary Report page by navigating to Reports > Priority Reports > Discrepancy Summary.
   
   

2. Enter information in the displayed fields.

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   

3. Click Next to begin the report generation and to display its progress on the Report Activity page.
   
   
4. Click Refresh until the report is completed, or wait until you receive the notification email. If the report is aborted, the Progress column indicates so, to alert you that the report data is partial. You can view the partial report, but be aware it is partial. You should refine your selections (if you asked for too-large a report) or re-generate the report (if it was aborted due to a system shutdown) in order to obtain a complete report. Then delete the aborted report as soon as possible. For more information about the Report Activity page, see Viewing-report-activity.
5. Click the Discrepancy Summary link in the Report column to display the report.
   
6. Verify the report is complete. If the report was aborted, the title and the Report Generation information in the footer inform you so, and the footer informs you about the user who aborted it. An aborted report will be missing one or more devices and will not include all devices in the counts in the header.
