Chapter 7 Generating Reports

Using the Reports Generator

Using the Report Generator of RME, you can generate various reports for these RME applications:

• Audit Trail

• BugToolkit

• Change Audit

• Contract Connection

• Device Credential

• Inventory

• Syslog

You can generate 24-hour reports that show data for the past 24 hours, from the scheduled time of the

report.

Successfully generated reports are stored in the Archives. You can access the reports archives by

selecting Resource Manager Essentials >Reports > Report Archives (see Viewing Archived Reports.)

Note View the Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check whether you have the

required privileges to perform this task.

To use the Report Generator:

Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Reports > Report Generator.

The RME Reports dialog box appears, in the Report Generator page.

Step 2 Go to the first drop-down list box and select the application for which you want to generate a report.

Step 3 Select a Report. (This selection will not be available if you do not select an application before selecting

a Report.)

The RME Reports dialog box appears for the selected report.

Step 4 Select either:

• Device Selector, if you want to schedule report generation for static set of devices.

• Group Selector, if you want to schedule report generation for dynamic group of devices.

The report is scheduled only for the devices that are present in the selected group at the time of report

generation. The customizable group selector for reports evaluates static groups also as dynamic during

run time.

The RME Reports dialog box appears for the selected report. For details of how to enter information, see

the respective chapters or sections in the User Guide.

• Syslog Reports, see the topic Overview: Syslog Analyzer Reports in the section Enabling and

Tracking Syslogs Using Syslog Analyzer and Collector.

• Audit Trail Report, see the topic Generating a Standard Audit Trail Report, in the section Tracking
