User Guide: Reports
The Reports section gives an overview of the network status by aggregating data collected by the other modules.
The Configuration changes report shows the configuration changes detected by Netshot over the last hours or days, or on a precise day.
Note that the change date/time is the moment when Netshot took the snapshot, not the precise time of the change itself. Even if the snapshot was automatically taken after a detection of the change, it occurred several minutes after the actual change. Also, if several changes were made to the configuration of the devices within a few minutes, Netshot probably saw a single change only.
The Device access failures report lists the devices which haven't been successfully backed up by a snapshot task for the last X days, where X can be selected using the numeric field (3 by default). Change the number of days and click the Update button to refresh the list.
The disabled devices are excluded from the list.
The purpose of this report is to easily identify which devices are not responding to Netshot snapshot attempts anymore.
This report gives the compliance percentage for device groups. A device is flagged as non compliant so long as it doesn't pass at least one rule.
If you click on a group, you'll see the list of non conforming devices.
If a group of devices doesn't appear in the compliance reports, this is probably because it was marked as hidden. Edit it in the Devices section to change this.
This report will give you, for each group of devices, the percentage of Gold, Silver, Bronze and non compliant devices, resulting from the software rules defined in the Compliance section.
Click on a category in the legends to display the matching devices at the bottom of the page.
This report will give the trend of hardware support with time. This is based on end of sale and end of life dates that you have defined for part numbers in the Compliance section. When an hardware module becomes end of sale (or life), any device with such a module becomes itself end of sale (of life). The graph in the Hardware support report gives the number of end of sale and end of life devices, increasing with time. The milestones (dates when bunches of devices become end of sale or life) are listed below the table. If you click on the number of devices, you'll get the actual corresponding devices.
You can export data collected by Netshot into an Excel file.
The options are self-explanatory. Click on Download the result to generate and get the file. The generation of the file could take a few minutes if there are many devices in the database.
