CSV Inventory Report

Generation of CSV inventory is performed as the user who initiates the action or edits the scheduler object.

Separator character (Excel default for CH is the semicolon)

BelowBrowse and select a group as entry point of the object tree. Objects below this group are included in the inventory
Format

Select type of headers:

  • No headers
  • Headers on top of file: The first row in the output file will contain headers
  • Headers if row type changed: A header row will be inserted before each new section (e.g. Devices after Groups)
Multiple lines

Select how a multi column output should be handled:

  • Merge into one column
  • Separate column for each line
  • Separate row for each line
Separator (only visible when multiple lines are merged)Choose a separator for merged columns
Groups, Devices, Jobs, Services, SPOF, Impact

Check the desired output objects. Checkboxes might not be selectable because not all report items can be combined.

Groups

Select Groups and either Devices and Jobs or Services. Add columns and choose the required output fields from the dropdown list.

Devices

Example configuration with three output columns:

If the Format property is set to Headers on top of file, an output like the following will be produced:

Jobs

The following configuration shows a tree with groups, devices and jobs. To create a more readable report, empty output colunmns can be added:

 

Resulting report:

 

The inventory supports jobs up to 4 default values including the error code. The default values are defined per job type. The value history shows these values per default. CSV reports do not have a period, i.e. it is a snapshot and the last measured values will be reported.

Services

There are several options to produce different service inventories:

Output optionDescription
Service inventory

Shows standard service inventory

Resolve devices for jobsLike service inventory, but the corresponding devices are shown instead of the jobs themselves
Show lowest SLOsThe service structure is ignored. The list contains the top level services with the SLOs on the lowest level the service depends on
Show devices with influenceThe service structure is ignored. The list contains the top level services with the devices the service depends on
Open services

The list contains the top level services with services below which have no state pushing object linked to


Service inventory (Structured inventory):


Example service structure with top level SLO, standard SLO and jobs:


Service inventory:


Resolve devices for jobs. Devices are printed on level 3 instead of the jobs. Every device is printed only once:

For SLOs, the major condition (like 5 / 5 in the above example) will be printed in the column after the SLO name. Must conditions (if applicable) would be marked with M in the column before the name.

SPOF report

Generates a list of objects which are identified as a single point of failure (SPOF) for a specific SLO.

The SPOF report cannot be merged with other types of reports, like a service or a device inventory.

 

Specify the services using filter criteria and the required output:

 

Example of a resulting report:

Impact report

The list produced by this report contains process objects, SLCs or SLOs which are or may be affected by any outage of a dependent SLO, device or job.
