About reporting

The Cluster Management Console reporting feature enables you to generate reports on cluster performance and management history. The console gathers data for reports from the management server database.

Report jobs specify how and when to generate a report, and report outputs are the results of running a report job. You create the report jobs, which are automatically saved along with any outputs to the database. The Cluster Management Console supports the following types of reports:

Types of reports

Report type

Description

Agent Inventory 

An inventory of installed enterprise (third party) VCS agents, and optionally, bundled VCS agents on each selected cluster, by cluster. For each agent, displays information from the agent information file. The agent information includes version, minimum VCS version, agent type, vendor, files installed with agent, and nodes where the agent is installed.  

Agent Usage  

A summary of all agents that are installed on the selected clusters, by agent. For each agent, this summary includes the clusters where the agent is installed, and groups containing resources of that type. 

Cluster Activity 

A listing of all event information, representing changes that are made to the selected clusters over a specified time period.  

Cluster Attribute 

A tabular report that displays the current value of selected attributes for each of the selected clusters. Each cluster is represented as a single row in the resulting attributes table. 

Cluster Inventory 

A summary of configuration information about the selected clusters. May be used in a manner similar to a "run book". 

Configuration Analysis 

A detailed analysis of configuration aspects of the selected clusters and their groups, with reported results of possible configuration problems. A summary chart displays the configured clusters and groups with the number of errors and warnings generated. Individual tests and results are provided, and may include supporting subtest results. 

Current Schedules 

A summary of the schedules that are defined for the management server, including maintenance windows and scheduled reports. Information includes all objects that are associated with each schedule. 

Failure Summary 

Statistics about resource failures, gathered for each of the selected clusters over the specified date range. A "failure" refers to any offline or faulted status. The report shows failures by resource type, node, and group, plus time to recovery. 

Failure Summary by Group 

Statistics about resource failures, gathered for each of the selected groups over the specified date range. A "failure" refers to any offline or faulted status. The report shows failures by resource type, node, and resource, plus time to recovery. 

Fault Trending 

Fault statistics for each resource type, including faults per week and faults per resource. Purpose is to help locate possible fault trends. 

Group Activity 

A listing of all event information, representing changes that are made to the selected groups over a specified time period.  

Group Attribute 

A tabular report that displays the current value of selected attributes for each of the selected groups. Each group is represented as a single row in the resulting attributes table. 

Resource Activity 

A listing of all event information, representing changes that are made to the selected resources over a specified time period.  

Resource Attribute 

A tabular report that displays the current value of selected attributes for each of the selected resources. Each resource is represented as a single row in the resulting attributes table. 

Uptime Analysis 

Analysis of "uptime," the amount of time the selected groups were accessible to the user over a time period. You can specify time periods, called "maintenance windows," to exclude from the overall uptime calculation. You can also exclude individual resources from the calculation. 

Virtual IP Usage 

A table of all virtual IP addresses that are in use for resources in the selected clusters. Information on each IP address includes the associated group, resource, node, subnet mask, and MAC address.
