Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Quick Setup Guide

Use reports for capacity management and to track resource usage. You can also export database tables 
in a raw format for analysis or reporting in other applications. 

Cisco recommends that you do not run reports or backups during peak hours of use, such as on the hour. 
Doing so may cause the system to fail.

Report and export data enables you to monitor resource usage, monitor end-user activity, gather billing 
information, and watch for toll fraud. For example, you can use the data to determine whether the system 
has enough licenses and appropriate port and capacity configurations to support the number of calls 
being made by end users. Two areas of the Administration Center provide useful data that you can 
analyze and save:

Reports

Maintenance > Export Data

The output produced in these two areas differs in format. The reports area provides information that is 
formatted in tables, either in HTML or plain text. The Export Information area provides data in 
comma-delimited text files, which you may sort and format using any generally available third-party 
report-generation application.

Some export options are provided only in XML format. These export options are provided only to save 
a subset of configurations that you can later import. Do not modify the exported files before importing.

You choose the destination of the generated report output.
