In reporting when attempting to send to excel we reach maximum lengths constantly. Working with support we made changes but then hit a character limit of 65 thousand and this is because it converts to the old format of .xls . Office has since moved from that and the new format is .xlsx which allows for more characters allowing solarwinds to be able to created expansive and large reports instead of having to chop a report into many excel sheets.
PDF works fine at least for all of our reports we've created. And .csv has been giving us problem with large reports as well.
As an enhancement it would be good to remove the limitations from the reporting engine for organizations and companies like ours that have a need to create large and expansive reports without going through so many steps to get to an end result.
Also, make it easier to create reports. We had a need to pull a reports for specifically all Windows systems for an event of reboot. However, when trying to narrow it down if I chose windows I had no options to narrow down event type if I changed it to narrow down event type I couldn't narrow it to windows only. It took alot of work arounds to fool the system into giving us what we needed. Instead of tricking the system to get something done and having to find multiple workarounds to get to an end result why not enhance the tool to remove that limitation and allow reporting engine even better?
