Report Center

Available in HQ Enterprise

This screen allows users to generate all available reports in HQ. The report templates come predefined by HQ, and users simply select a template and provide any necessary input. (Read a description of the report templates.) Customers can develop their own report templates and make them available on this screen. All reports are generated in real time; there is no scheduling, no asynchronous generation of reports.

If you have any comments or suggestions for this help page, please submit them at the bottom of the page by clicking Add Comment.

Tasks Available on This Screen

On this screen, users can do one thing: generate a report.

To generate a report

  1. Click the name of a report template in Select a report.
  2. In "Report Options," provide any additional information necessary to generate the report.
    HQ automatically displays in this section the parameters associated with the selected report.
  3. Select a format for the report in Export the report as.
  4. Click
    HQ now generates and displays the report. If users want to store the report, they should save it to their own computer.
HTML Report Displayed in the Same Window

If the report format is HTML, the report will be displayed in the same window that HQ is running in. Therefore, when finished with viewing the report, go back; don't close the window.

Navigating via the Masthead Menu

Main screens in Hyperic contain a masthead menu. Users can navigate to the following parts of HQ using this menu:

Dashboard Takes users to the Dashboard, the starting screen in HQ, which displays information about resource health, recent alerts, recently performed auto-discovery scan, and control actions
Browse Resources Takes users to the screen where they can locate and navigate through information about all managed resources
Alert Center Takes users to the Alert Center, where they can look at all alerts triggered across the system
Report Center * Takes users to the Report Center, where they can generate all reports available in HQ.
Administration Takes users (with "Administer Hyperic HQ Server Configuration" permissions) to the Administration screen, where they can manage the system-wide settings
Recent Resources Provides a drop-down list of resources that the user has recently viewed. Selecting one of those resources takes the user to the Current Health screen for the resource.
Help Opens screen-sensitive online help in a secondary window

The masthead also displays the two most recently triggered alerts. Users can click the alert's time to be taken to the alert detail.
