service-level reportsfor example, document aggregate and individual
availability and response time for web server cluster last month.

 |
| WhatsUp Gold uses Crystal Reports to produce comprehensive
network/device-level statistic reports. |
 |
| SNMPc collects trend data for built-in report types
like Interface Health and Web Response Time. To give you a feel for
the reports generated by each, we have included samples here. |

raw or summary data for use by third party software is highly desirable.
We found data export features in four of these products.
