Enterprise Reporter 3.5.1 - Configuration Manager User Guide

Last Run Status: The results of the last run of the discovery - whether it finished, finished but was unable to collect all of the data, or was canceled.

•

Last Run: When the discovery last completed. This will be empty until the first successful completion of the discovery.

•

Last Run Time: How long the most recent run of the discovery took to complete. This time is measured from the time the discovery is submitted to the server until the last task finishes running.


	NOTE: The total time for the discovery to complete may actually be longer than the sum of its tasks, as the cluster may have been processing other discoveries at the same time, or there may have been issues on the node or server.

•

Average Run Time: The average of the Last Run Time of the 10 most recent runs of the discovery. Only runs with a Last Run Status of Finished or Finished with failures are included.

•

Error Suppressions: Indicates when errors have been suppressed for a discovery.

By default, discoveries are grouped by cluster and sorted by discovery name. The current grouping is displayed just above the column headers. An arrow in the column header indicates the current sort.

The Manage Discoveries pane can be customized to display columns in an alternate sequence or to display discoveries with revised grouping, sorting, and filtering. Changes made to the Manage Discoveries pane are automatically saved and used for subsequent logins of the same account.

To sort a column

•

Click the up arrow

to sort in descending alphabetical order (Z to A).

•

Click the down arrow

to sort in ascending alphabetical order (A to Z).

To filter a column

•

Click the filter icon

in a column heading to display a list of every entry in that column and select a value on which to filter.

•

(Blanks) displays rows with a blank entry in that column.

•

(Non-blanks) displays rows with an entry.

•

(Custom) opens a Custom AutoFilter where you can create a custom filter.

- OR -

If an empty row is displayed under the column headers, enter text in each column of this row to perform an exact-match search to narrow the results.

To clear a filter

•

With a filter selected for a particular column, click the filter icon

in that column heading and choose (All).

To move a column

•

Click on the header of the column to be moved, drag it between two other columns (until arrows display indicating the new location for the column), and drop it into place.

To change the grouping

You can use any of the following options to change the grouping:

•

Drag any attribute from the grouping area above the column header down into the column headers to create a new column and stop grouping by that attribute. For example, drag the default grouping of Cluster down to create a Cluster column and stop grouping by Cluster.

•

Drag the header of any column into the grouping area above the column headers. This removes the column and groups by the attribute. For example, drag the Type column up to group by discovery type.

•

Drag other column headers into the grouping beside an existing group to add sub-groups.

•

Click on any column header to change the sorting within the grouping. For example, if grouping by discovery type, click the Last Run Time header to sort by last run time within each type of discovery.

To clear the grouping, right-click in the grouping area just above the column headers and select Clear Grouping.

Navigating the Manage Discoveries Pane

The Manage Discoveries pane is actually a series of views designed to allow you to see the progress of your discoveries and to aid in troubleshooting any issues that arise during a collection. In the main Manage Discoveries view, you can create, edit, and run discoveries.

The Manage Discoveries pane uses a drill down approach:

•

You can drill down into the last completed run of the discovery and see the details of each task that was processed. You can hover over any task to display the discovery options that were used during collection.

•

You can drill down into a currently processing discovery, and see:

•

The tasks for the discovery being processed. This lets you see all the work currently being processed or waiting to be processed.

•

The activity currently taking place. For each task, you can see details of what is currently being processed by the assigned node.

•

The current state of the tasks in your discovery, along with the errors and statistics for each task.

As you drill down into your processing or completed discoveries, a breadcrumb bar helps you understand the context of the information on your screen. At any time, you can click the Manage Discoveries breadcrumb to return to the main Manage Discoveries view. Figure 5 outlines how you can access the details of your completed or processing tasks.

To display the main Manage Discoveries pane

•

From within the Manage Discoveries pane, click the Manage Discoveries breadcrumb.

- OR -

From another pane, on the Navigation pane, click the Manage Discoveries button.

Viewing the History of a Discovery

Enterprise Reporter keeps a history of the last 10 runs of each discovery. This can be an aid in troubleshooting—for example, you can see where an error first started to appear in a discovery.

To view the history of a discovery

On the Manage Discoveries page, select a discovery.

Click View History.

To view the tasks for a discovery, click the status link.

What Does the Discovery Status Indicate?

The status of a discovery is largely dependent on the status of the tasks within the discovery. For more information, see What Does the Task Status Indicate? . There are several locations you can view the status of a discovery on the Manage Discoveries page:

•

The Last Run Status column tells you the status of the last completed run of the discovery.

•

If a discovery is currently being processed, the Next Run column indicates its current status.

•

After the first run, when a discovery is running you have access to both the status of the last run and the current run.

•

You can see the status of any completed discovery run when you view the history of a discovery.

The following table outlines the available discovery statuses.

Table 51. Discovery Statuses in Configuration Manager
Discovery Status	Description
Pending	The discovery is in the queue, but has not yet started processing. This can be as a result of manual or scheduled run of the discovery.
Processing	Once the first task of a discovery is processed (the resolution task), the discovery goes into a processing state, and remains there until the discovery is canceled or all tasks complete.
Canceled	Indicates that the discovery has been successfully canceled.
Finished	Indicates that all tasks have finished with no errors or errors that did occur were suppressed. The Error Suppressions column will indicate when errors are suppressed for the discovery.
Finished with Failures	Indicates that all tasks have finished, but at least one task failed.
Failed	Indicates that all tasks have finished, but they all failed.
