Run reports

From the Reports screen (Monitor > Reports), you can run, view, and download the built-in reports or the reports that you have created.

About this task

When you run a report, the first 20 rows are displayed. Scroll to the bottom of the table to display the number of pages and to navigate from one page to another. To view all the rows at one time, download the report. To edit this value, see Export data. Data displayed in the output cannot be sorted because it is defined in the query that is used to build a report. To sort data, edit the report query or export it to an Excel sheet. It is recommended to not run more than five (5) reports at a time because reporting consumes system resources. However, this value of five reports depends on the devices discovered, fields used, and number of tables joined to generate report. A Reports job is created and run when a report generation is requested. For role-based privileges to generate reports, see Create a report.

NOTE:
  • To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access.
  • Reports generated by device managers will only have data pertaining to the devices that are in their scope.
  • It is not recommended to frequently run a report because it consumes processing and data resources.
  • For a report whose category is 'Device', the first columns by default are Device name, Device model, and Device Service Tag. You may exclude columns while customizing your report.
  • If the generated file corresponding to a report run is larger than 5MB, an internal alert will be logged.
  • If you are downloading or running a report that is already generated, and another user tries to delete that report simultaneously, both the tasks are successfully completed.

Steps

  1. To run a report, select the report and click Run. On the <report name> Reports screen, the report is tabulated by using the fields that are defined for creating the report.
  2. To download a report:
    1. Click Download.
    2. In the Download Report dialog box, select the output file type, and click Finish. The selected output file is displayed. Currently, you can export a report to HTML, PDF, and CSV file formats. An audit log entry is made whenever you generate, edit, delete, or copy a report definition.
