Custom reports - general info
I used this article to learn about custom reports. It's an excellent source of information and is the key to getting started. Performance Information here is summarised from this article and is really just a memory jogger. There are 3 main views to get perf data from: vPerfDaily vPerfHourly vPerfRaw You typically use vPerfDaily and vPerfHourly as they contain (not only) these columns: SampleCount AverageValue MinValue MaxValue StandardDeviation vPerfRaw (not only) contains: SampleValue The main thing to note here is that hourly/daily datasets contain more info - but it's less granular due to aggregation? - while the raw dataset contains the value the rule collected each time it ran. vPerfRaw data is also kept for a shorter time - I don't know how long.
