You can generate a Job report or a Failure report for any protected machine on demand.
|
NOTE: Scheduled reports at the machine level are not supported. |
Complete the steps in the following procedure to generate a report for a protected machine.
The Summary page for the selected protected machine appears.
If you do not choose a date range, the default option (Last 31 days) is used. You can choose from the options in the following table.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Last 24 hours | Reports activity for the last day, relative to the time you generate the report. |
Last 7 days | Reports activity for the last week, relative to the time you generate the report. |
Last 31 days | Reports activity for the last 31 days, relative to the time you generate the report. |
Last 90 days | Reports activity for the last 90 days, relative to the time you generate the report. |
Last 365 days | Reports activity for the last year, relative to the time you generate the report. |
All Time | This time period spans the lifetime of the Core. |
Custom | This time period requires you to further specify start and end dates. |
Month to date | Reports activity from the first day of the current calendar month to the date you generate the report. |
Year to date | Reports activity from the first day of the current calendar year to the date you generate the report. |
|
NOTE: In all cases, no report data is available before the Core software was deployed, or from before machines were protected on the Core. |
By default, this set of information includes all jobs for the selected protected machines. In the report parameters, you can customize the report.
If the report criteria you selected is not found, the report still generates, but the report contains an empty row. For example, if there are no errors, the contents of the Error column are null in the report.
You can schedule any of the reports available from the Core Console. Scheduling a report causes it to be generated repeatedly in the future. The schedule defines whether to generate the report on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Optionally, Rapid Recovery lets you send an email notification to one or more recipients when each report is generated. The email specifies the report type, report format, and date range, and includes the report as an attachment.
|
NOTE: Before you can send reports by email, you must configure an SMTP server for the Core. For more information, see Configuring an email server. |
Whether or not you choose to send email notifications, you can save the generated reports locally, or on a network location accessible to the Core server.
You must specify email notification and delivery, or you must specify a location to save reports. You can also choose both options.
This section includes the following topics:
You can schedule a report available from the Core Console. The report then generates on the schedule you defined until you pause or delete the report.
You must specify email notification and delivery, or you must specify a location to save reports. You can also choose both options.
Complete the steps in this procedure to schedule a report.
The Job Report page appears. A downward-facing arrow appears to the right of the current report name.
Machine | Available Reports |
---|---|
Name | Type the display name you want to assign to this particular schedule.
The default name is Schedule report 1. Limit your name to 64 or fewer characters. Do not use prohibited characters or prohibited phrases. |
Report format | Select a report output format. If you do not select a value, the default format (pdf) is used. |
Report type | Select the type of report you want to generate on a repeated basis. |
Labels | Select the labels you want to appear on your scheduled report. At least one label is required.
The Custom Groups feature allows you to group Core objects in one logical container, for which you define a label. Using the Labels parameter in the Set Reporting Schedule Wizard, you can select a custom group for which scheduled reports are run. If no custom labels exist, the available options in the Labels drop-down menu include Select All and Protected Machines. If custom groups appear, each group appears as an option. You can select or clear any of the options to include or exclude those objects in the scheduled report. |
Protected machine | Select one or more protected machines to be included in the report.
This option is not available for the Repository report. |
Job Types | Select the job types you want to appear in the report.
By default, this set of information includes jobs for all machines—every protected machine, replicated machine and recovery point-only machine in the specified Cores. In the report parameters, you can customize the report. Use the filters to select or exclude some machines. You can also select or exclude jobs that are machine independent, in which case the report shows status for Core jobs only. The Job Types parameter is not available for the Core Summary and Repository scheduled report types. |
NOTE: If you do not specify email notifications and delivery, then you must specify a storage location. |
Location type | Location type description | Location |
---|---|---|
Local | Select location type Local to save generated reports in a local path accessible to the Core. |
Specify the path in the Location text box. Type a location accessible to the Core locally. For example, to store reports in the Reports folder on the D drive, enter D:\Reports\. |
Network | Select location type Network to save generated reports in a path accessible to the Core on the network. Specify the path in the Location text box. |
Specify the path in the Location text box. Type a location accessible to the Core from the network. Use format \\servername\sharename.

Cloud | Select location type Cloud to save generated reports in a Cloud storage account configured in the Core.
The storage account must already be defined before performing this step. For information on setting up a Cloud storage account to work with the Core, see Cloud accounts. |
From the Account text box, select the appropriate Cloud storage account to use to store generated reports. From the Container text box, specify an appropriate container in the storage account. From the Folder Name text box, specify a folder into which to store future generated reports. |
