Creating custom reports
If the default reports do not address your needs, you can create your own reports.
About this task
Before you create a custom report, determine the ways in which the custom report will be different from or similar to the system-supplied reports. You can use a default report as a template, modify the counters, and save it with a different name. You can create a copy of pages or charts in a report that are based out of existing pages or charts. To copy the pages or charts, go to the Edit view and click the Duplicate icon.
You can also create a report from scratch and add the required counters.
Counters for test protocol are explained in the topics in the Reports and counters section.

a lot of data, the graph is not represented properly. to ensure that the graph
is displayed properly, you must filter out some of the data.
