17.16 Using Reports in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center

Reports in provide you with insight into all phases of the asset lifecycle. You can gather more detailed information about job history, firmware, OS updates, and then export that information to CSV or PDF output. Problem reports export to HTML.

You can create the following reports in Enterprise Manager Ops Center:

  • Problem reports

    Problem reports summarize problem details for a specific managed asset or detailed information about specific problems. You can export these reports into an HTML output. The Summary Reports provide you with an historical account of the detected problems. You can create a report for a specific time period, for a specific severity level, status, type of problem, or the asset groups affected by the problem. These reports are invaluable in trend analysis and identifying patterns that you can then take steps to mitigate.

  • Firmware compliance reports

    Firmware Compliance Reports enable you to maintain consistent firmware versions across your data center. You can associate one of your firmware profiles with the report, then run the Firmware Compliance Report to determine if the firmware on the asset complies with your firmware profile's specifications. If assets do not contain the firmware version identified in the profile, you can update the firmware from the report.

  • Server provisioning reports

    Obtain a report of historical server provisioning actions. Run this simple ad-hoc report to obtain details about the Deployment Plan provisioning activities that occurred over a specified time period. Get specific information about the activity, including who ran the provisioning job, which profiles were selected, and the final outcome.

  • System information reports

    Run a system information report to obtain the information about different resource types such as compute nodes, chassis, logical domains, global zone, and non-global zone. The system information report displays information about the current configuration of the targets.
