OpenManage Enterprise 4.0.x User's Guide

Monitoring reports

Reports enable you to collate and view data about the alerts, devices, groups, jobs, and servers.

Click Monitor > Reports to use the system-defined reports or create custom reports.

• 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.
• Definitions and criteria that is used for a system-defined report cannot be edited or deleted.
• The reports and the data that is displayed on the Reports screen depend on the scope-based user privileges that you have in OpenManage Enterprise. For example, Device Managers have access to only the reports that they have created in addition to the system-defined reports. Also, user-generated reports would contain data only from the devices that are in the scope for that user. For example, when administrators or 'unrestricted' device managers generate a report, all data regarding all devices and device groups is included. However, when device managers with limited scope generate a report, only data regarding devices or device groups within their scope is included.
• An audit log entry is made whenever you Run, Edit, Delete, or Copy a report.
• If you feel that report generation is taking time, you can stop the process.
• The reports that are generated are automatically translated to the language which is set while installing OpenManage Enterprise.
• The right pane displays the details such as:
  • Fields in the report
  • Last Run Duration
  • Last Run By
  • Last Edited By
  • Schedule
  • Format
  • Delivery Options: Email recipients or network share.
