Q7780012: I'm attempting to print a Network Monitor Report, however the bar graphs don't show up. How can I enable the grsaph bars on a report?
When you print the report, the graph bars on the document indicating the up/downtimes of the checks may not appear on the printed paper. This is because 'Backgroud Printing' is disbaled in an internet Browser by default. To enable background Printing in Internet Explorer, choose 'Internet Options' from the 'Tools' menu, and enable 'Print background colors and images' from the 'Advanced' tab. To enable background printing in Mozilla Firefox, choose 'Page Setup' from the 'File' menu and enable 'P...

Q7780015: I want to schedule my reports so that the reports are generated automatically, for every week and every month. Is this possible?
Yes that is possible. You must use the command-line utility 'AxRgCmd.exe' to create reports without user intervention. You can use this 'AxRgCmd.exe' from the Windows Task Scheduler to create reports automatically and send the reports to a group of e-mail recipients. The 'AxRgCmd.exe' utility requires a few parameters. There are a few batch jobs (.cmd) included with the product. Each batch jobs use the 'AxRgCmd.exe' with the required parameters and can be used directly in the Windows Task Scheduler. ...

Q7780100: Is it really necessary to migrate the report database to MS SQL?
It is strongly recommended to migrate the report database to MS SQL Server (or MS SQL Server Express Edition). This is because Network Monitor uses complex queries to generate reports. With MS Access and a small configuration (less than 100 checks), generating reports can take minutes already after a few weeks, whereas with MS SQL it will take one a few seconds or even less.

Q7780110: Can I migrate the report database to MS SQL Server Express Edition? If so, how can it be done?
Yes, MS SQL Express Edition is supported. Migration to MS SQL Server Express Edition can be done in the same way as migrating to MS SQL Server, with only one difference: you MUST specify the instance ID of the SQL Server Express Edition database in the 'Host' field. For example, if the name of the database server is named 'DbServer01', and the instance id of the database is named 'SQLExpress', then specify 'DbServer01\SQLExpress'. There's no performance difference between MS SQL Server and ...

Q7780150: When I try to create a report, it is telling me the following: "There's a large number of records in the report database… Do you want to perform maintenance now?" However, the performance is still good. Is there a way to get this warning at a later stage, when the performance has really decreased?
Yes, that is possible. There's a registry key for that, depending on the type of Report Databse you are using (MS Access or MS SQL Server):   HKLM\Software\ActiveXperts\Network Monitor\Reports\ThesholdMsAccess or   HKLM\Software\ActiveXperts\Network Monitor\Reports\ThesholdMsSql The value indicates the number of events in the Report Database before a warning is given. Note that you can completely surpress this warning, regardless of the treshold. See also FAQ #7780...
