You can schedule reports to run on a regular basis, and have the results emailed to the user in PDF format. These reports include summary values at the top (for example, the number of requests, SLA breaches, alerts triggered, and unique clients in a specified week) followed by a table of services, and their aggregated usage data (for example, the number of requests on each service).
The report data is for the configured current week of the report, which is compared to the week before. You can set the configured current week of the report to be the actual current calendar week or any prior week (provided there is corresponding data in the database).
To configure scheduled reports, right-click the Listeners -> API Gateway Analytics node in the Policy Studio tree, and select Database Archive.
Click the browse button the right, and select a pre-configured database connection in the dialog.
This setting defaults to the Default Database Connection. To add a new database
connection, right-click the Database Connections node, and select Add
DB connection. You can also edit or delete existing nodes by right-clicking and selecting
the appropriate option. Alternatively, you can add database connections under the External
Connections node in the Policy Studio tree view. For more details on creating database
connections, see the Database Connection topic.
