Foglight Evolve 6.0.0 - User Guide

Determine if the state of a host impacts your services

If one of your hosts is in a state other than Normal (), use the impacted services popup to view which of your services that host might impact. This popup helps you establish whether critical services are affected by problems with your hosts and decide if immediate action is necessary to resolve these problems.

* 
NOTE: You can only view user-defined impacted services. System services are not shown.
To view a host’s impacted services:
•
Click the icon () in the Impacted Services column for the host you are investigating.
The impacted services popup shows a summary that lists the name of the impacted service, its aggregate state, and its aggregate state history.
 
* 
NOTE: The Service Health History column is hidden by default. To view it, click the Show columns icon () and then select the column in the popup.
 
* 
TIP: In addition to the dashboards described in this chapter, Foglight provides you with other views on your hosts. For details, see the online help for the dashboards listed under Dashboards > Hosts in the navigation panel.

Reporting on Your Enterprise

Reports are a convenient way to share data about your monitored environment with others in your organization. The Reports dashboard is your starting point for working with reports. Use it to create and schedule reports and to access the Manage Reports dashboard. You can create:

•
Pre-defined reports. Use out-of-the-box templates to obtain a quick, high-level perspective on your data. See Running a Report .
•
Custom reports. Create custom report templates to tailor the content and presentation of your reports to suit your needs. See Building a Custom Report .

The Report Manager role allows users to schedule as well as generate the reports for which they have role access. It is different from the Operator role, for example, in that users granted the Operator role can generate reports but cannot schedule them. With the Report Manager role, users cannot create new report templates through the Definitions editor or create reports using the drag and drop feature initiated from the action panel. The Advanced Operator role grants users access to all report functionality.

 
* 
NOTE: You can also access this dashboard from the navigation panel: select Homes > Reports.
Figure 1. The Reports dashboard.

The Reports dashboard also provides at-a-glance reporting details. It displays the number of report templates available to you, the number of scheduled reports, and information about upcoming scheduled reports and recently generated reports.

A Reports menu is located at the top-right corner of each dashboard. From this menu, you can quickly create a new report, run a report, and manage reports. You can access the same menu from the General tab on the action panel by expanding Other Actions and clicking Reports.

Running a Report

Foglight contains a number of pre-defined report templates. Each template serves a particular purpose, but many templates have the same expected inputs. The values you specify for these inputs define the content of the report.

Use a template as-is to quickly generate or schedule a report, or change the report input values to meet specific requirements.

Running a Report

Click Run a Report on the Reports dashboard to select and generate a report immediately (in the PDF format, for example) using the Create Report wizard. If you have the Manager Report role or the Advanced Operator’s role, you can also schedule a report from this wizard. See Online-Only Topics for details about using this wizard.
