Prepackaged reports—Prime Performance Manager can generate more than 900 prepackaged 
reports on a wide range of network services, technologies, and devices. These reports provide 
visibility into the network and service performance characteristics of core, aggregation, and access 
network devices. Reports are automatically generated and do not require complex customization or 
configuration.

the Cisco Prime Performance Manager web interface. They can also be generated as a 
comma-separated value (CSV) data file for integration with a third-party OSS.

technologies, and devices. It facilitates proactive service assurance by allowing you to quickly detect
