Reports

Equinix Smart View reports allows you to create reports for specific assets in your data center, and displays a list of all the reports that have been generated for your accounts.

Smart View reports allow you to examine historical datasets from the following data sections:

  • Environmental
  • Power Draw

Note: Smart View data is retained for a maximum of 12 months. You can contact us if you need to access data older than 12 months.

Click Reports at the top of the Dashboard to create a report, or view previously created reports and report templates.

This shows you a list of recently generated reports under Recently Generated.

View reports of specific accounts using the filter for Accounts at the top right corner above the tables.

Reports can be created in templates which are previously saved under Saved Templates. This allows you to instantly generate reports using a pre-populated template. You can also edit or delete any existing template from this section.

The report output file format is dependent on the type of report:
