# Reports Administration
|
|
|
|
This section will describe **Reports Administration** in Cacti.
|
|
|
|
The **Reports Administration** tab allows Cacti Administrators to administer all
|
|
**Reports** in Cacti. The Administrator can change the ownership of or take
|
|
ownership away from any user on the system, and can edit all **Reports**. The
|
|
primary difference between the **Reports Administration** and the **Reports User**
|
|
interfaces breaks down to simply what can be done and seen by the user.
|
|
|
|
## The Web Interface
|
|
|
|
The administration of any **Report** begins on the main Reports tab in Cacti.
|
|
A screen shot of the Reports tab is shown below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When viewing any **Reports** from this interface, you will see the following
|
|
columns:
|
|
|
|
- **Report Name** - The name of the Report.
|
|
- **Owner** - The Cacti account that has ownership of the Report.
|
|
- **Frequency** - How often the Report is to be sent to the distribution.
|
|
- **Last Run** - The last time that the Report was sent to the distribution.
|
|
- **Next Run** - The approximate next time that the report is to be sent.
|
|
this is not an exact number. It does depend on the poller first running. So,
|
|
depending on how long your poller runs for, this time could be off by a
|
|
few minutes.
|
|
- **From** - The From Name portion of the From Email address
|
|
- **To** - The list of Emails that the reports is to be sent to.
|
|
- **Type** - The Image format and the type of embedding done in the Email.
|
|
- **Enabled** - Is the Report able to be sent on the Schedule.
|
|
|
|
The actions that you can take on an existing Report as an Administrator include:
|
|
|
|
- **Send Now** - Force send one or more **Reports** now
|
|
- **Duplicate** - Duplicate one or more **Reports**
|
|
- **Enable** - Enable one or more **Reports**
|
|
- **Disable** - Disable one or more **Reports**
|
|
- **Delete** - Delete one or more **Reports**
|
|
- **Take Ownership** - Take over ownership of one or more **Reports**
|
|
|
|
## Report Editing
|
|
|
|
When you click the Add button on the right side of the **Reports** page, or Click
|
|
the Report Name of an existing Report, you will be presented with the interface below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section includes:
|
|
|
|
- **Report Name** - The Name of the **Report**
|
|
- **Enable Report** - Is the **Report** Enabled
|
|
- **Use Custom Format HTML** - This is an indication that you wish to use a
|
|
custom html/css document that you can use to customize the layout of your
|
|
reports and add corporate branding for example.
|
|
- **Format File to Use** - The specific html/css file to use.
|
|
- **Graphs Linked** - Provide the recipient of the report a ling back to the actual
|
|
graph in Cacti.
|
|
- **Graph Columns** - The number of Graph columns to use per row.
|
|
- **Graph Width** - The width of each Graph
|
|
- **Graph Height** - The height of each Graph
|
|
- **Thumbnails** - Should the Graphs be rendered in Thumbnail mode
|
|
- **Next Timestamp of Sending Mail Report** - The approximate next time to send the report
|
|
- **Report Interval** - The frequency to send the report. Options are every X Minute,
|
|
Hours, Days, Weeks, Months on a Day of the Month, Months on the Day of the Week,
|
|
and Years.
|
|
- **Interval Frequency** - How often to send, for example if you select Days,
|
|
and the Interval is one, it means every day, if you select 2,
|
|
it means every other day.
|
|
|
|
The **Email Frequency** section does not use the same layout as does our
|
|
**Automation Networks**. Correcting that is a future project for the team.
|
|
|
|
The last section of the **Report Details** is the **Email Sender/Receiver**
|
|
section as shown below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From here you can set the following columns.
|
|
|
|
- **Subject** - The Email subject.
|
|
- **From Name** - The From Name on the Email. For example **Cacti Administrator**
|
|
- **From Email Address** - The From Email address. For example *noreply@mydomain.com*
|
|
- **To Email Address(es)** - A comma delimited list of Email addresses that should
|
|
receive the Report.
|
|
- **BCC Address(es)** - An anonymized list of Email recipients
|
|
- **Image attach type** - This defines how the Cacti Graph images get attached
|
|
to the Email. Maybe are for legacy purposes. Most users will use
|
|
Inline PNG or Inline JPG.
|
|
|
|
Once you save a new **Report** additional Tabs will show up. Those tabs are:
|
|
|
|
- **Items** - The Graph's, Tree's, Text, Horizontal Rules,
|
|
and Device's to place on the Report.
|
|
- **Preview** - See a Preview of your Report
|
|
- **Events** - Approximate Future Event Days for your Report to be sent.
|
|
This helps interpret the idiosyncrasies of the scheduler design.
