Standard Reports
Discover includes a pre-defined list of Standard Reports generated from the data collected from your environment, stored in the product's database, analyzed and summarized and displayed in simple and intuitive charts. Although there are a couple of reports that provide consolidated information across data stores, the rest of the standard reports are unique to the format of the source data. Clicking individual blocks of the charts provides additional breakdowns of the source data.
