Netops reports generated as PDFs show incorrect formatting where graphs are cut off or overlay footers

Issue/Introduction

After installing NetOps 25.4.2 (or above) and running reports, it was noticed that the graphs are running into the footers and off page.

Graphs at the bottom of pages are cut off

Graphical data overlays the report footers

Issue persists even after recreating report schedules in version 25․4․2

Notice in this screenshot the graph output is in the footer of the page:

 

Cause

The issue is caused by the way graph offsets are placed when they are not equal, which breaks the layout margins in the generated PDF Underling tables in card views contribute to the overflow

Resolution

This will be fixed in a future release of NetOps.

 

1․ IDENTIFY GRAPH OFFSETS: Review the report layout to identify inconsistent graph sizes

 

EXPECTED: Identifying graphs that break layout margins

2․ GROUP SIMILAR CHARTS: Move graphs within the report so that all "like-sized" or similar charts are grouped together

 

EXPECTED: Consolidated graph sizes prevent layout margin breaks

 

3․ SEGREGATE CARD VIEWS: Move card views or underlying tables to their own page or to the bottom of the page

 

EXPECTED: Prevents pie view overflow from pushing content to the next page incorrectly
