Re: LEM Database

Select Expert will not allow you to change the layout/view of a report, so no removing or adding or rearranging columns with the LEM Reports console.

You can run modified reports on a schedule, though.

1. Pick a stock report to start with, run it for some time-range.  Shorter is better, so long as it includes some sample(s) of what you want in the final report
2. Use Select Expert to filter the report down to the samples you care about
3. Export that Report (there's a button in the ribbon) and save in the Crystal Reports RPT format.  You'll want to save the file where you installed the LEM Reports console in the Custom Reports folder.  By default, that path is:
   C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds Log and Event Manager Reports\CustomReports
4. In the Reports console, in the Category drop down, pick "Custom Reports."  Hit F5 to force a refresh.  You should see your new report there.
5. Run your report as usual, and schedule the report as you would any other.

In Windows XP, it was simple to modify the file meta-data to change the Report title, but that feature seems to be missing in Windows 7/8/10.  Give the Report a reasonable file name, though, and you can expand the "File" column to make sure you have the right report.
