Detected SIM Entities Report

Overview

Detected SIM Entities report shows information about each and every detected Entity (Tier, Node, Machine, Network Adapter, CPU, Disk, Container and Process) in SIM applications.

It is only generated if user requested SIM application (ApplicationType=SIM) in Target in Job File.

Report File Locations

Detected SIM Entities report is produced when Output.DetectedEntities=True and when the SIM application was queried.

Detected SIM Entities report has the following file format Report\DetectedEntities.SIM.<Job File Name>.<Start Date and Time>-<End Date and Time>.xlsx

For example, DetectedEntities.SIM.demo1demo2.withSIM.201807202100-201807202110.xlsx
