Discoveries

Discoveries are created to collect data. A discovery contains a number of targets, and is assigned to a cluster. The Enterprise Reporter server distributes the work among the nodes in that cluster. For more information, see Defining the Data Collection (Discoveries) .Technical Documentation.

 

Role of the Server

The Enterprise Reporter server is the central component of the Enterprise Reporter application. It directs the collection of data, maintains the report data in a SQL database (the central data store), organizes the computers running discoveries (nodes) into logical collections called clusters, assigns discoveries to the nodes using load-balancing, and executes report schedules.

A Simple Example of Enterprise Reporter Configuration

A global corporation has decided to use Enterprise Reporter to keep track of the various SQL databases throughout their enterprise. They have offices located in New York City, London, and Tokyo, and each of these offices has a unique domain hosting several SQL databases.

Each office will host 3 discovery nodes on various computers in their respective domains. These nodes are collected into clusters. A total of 3 clusters are created; one cluster for each office. Additionally, each cluster has its own shared data location located within its domain. When a discovery is created, it is assigned to the cluster in the office.

In each office, when a discovery process is executed, the server assigns the discovery to the nodes within the assigned cluster. All of the required data is written to the local shared data location and then uploaded to the central data store controlled by the Enterprise Reporter server.

The Report Manager

Once you have collected data, you use the Report Manager to generate reports. The Report Manager is a robust, flexible console that lets you create, modify and run reports. The Report Manager is intended for use by users who need to produce reports.

Reports in the Report Manager can be read-only, so that the settings cannot be changed, or they can be modifiable. For a modifiable report, you have control over what data is in the report, and how it is organized and laid out. Report definitions can be exported from one console, and imported into another. You can report on data collected from all clusters in your deployment.

The Database Wizard and Database Content Wizard

The Database Wizard is a stand-alone utility you can use to create and manage your Enterprise Reporter database.

To run the Database Content Wizard, you must have control and alter permission on the database. During installation, if the sa account is not selected, the Enterprise Reporter service account is added as a member of the Discovery_Admin_Role and Discovery_Nodes_Role roles. Both accounts have control and alter database permissions.

* 
NOTE: The Merge and Clean tasks can be destructive so it is highly recommended that only the db_owner runs those tasks. Control database level permissions has the same permissions as db_owner except that it can be assigned or removed by db_owner. Control database level permission has the same permissions as db_owner except that it can be assigned or removed by db_owner.

You can launch the Database Content Wizard from the Database Wizard.

The Enterprise Reporter Database Content Wizard allows a user to perform the following tasks on the information stored in Enterprise Reporter SQL Server® Databases.

To run the Database Content Wizard, you must have control and alter permission on the database. During installation, if the sa account is not selected, the Enterprise Reporter service account is added as a member of the Discovery_Admin_Role and Discovery_Nodes_Role roles. Both accounts have control and alter database permissions.
