Report to Iterate through mutiple objects of same type

[aamodei01]

Hello and thanks in advance!

I'm trying to build some reports in vROPS, specifically I'm trying to clone and customize some of the OOB ones, but I can't figure out if it's possible to have the report iterate through all of an item.

Case and point for this is I like the "Datastore Average Latency (ms) Trend View Report" and I want to run it against all the datastores in my environment.

Is there any way to do this without running the report and selecting each datastore specifically? I have 800+ datastores and there is no way!

Thanks!

Unfortunately the trend view will only show you one object at a time.  The list view can be used to iterate through a group of objects like you want, but it won't show a graph or trend over time, only metrics in columns.  An example report using a list view is "Datastore Disk I/O Diagnose List".  By using transformations in the list view you could show the min, max, and avg latency over a time period.  That might be something to start with... though not as good as the trend view. 

If you don't have a lot of datastores you could also create a dashboard that shows the desired graph/trend for each datastore (try using the metric chart widget) and then put that dashboard in a report.
