Generating a PDF report based on a dashboard using DataMiner Cube

In the Automation, Correlation and Scheduler modules, you can generate a report based on a dashboard. See Sending an email (Correlation), Email, Upload report to FTP and Upload report to shared folder (Automation), and Manually adding a scheduled task.

When you do so, from DataMiner 10.0.13 onwards, a Configure button is available. Clicking this button opens a pop-up window where you can configure the report.

  • At the top of the window, the link to the dashboard is displayed. Two icons next to this link allow you to copy it or browse to it, respectively.

  • Via Options, at the top of the window, you can configure these general settings for the report:

    • Add DMS info: Select this option to include your company details in the report.

    • Add DMS logo: Select this option to display the company logo in the report.

      Note

      To check your company details and logo in DataMiner Cube, go to System Center > Agents > System.

    • Include CSV: Includes a CSV file for each component of the dashboard. Only supported for specific components, such as the line graph, pivot table, and table component. Available from DataMiner 10.2.0/10.1.7 onwards.

    • Include feeds: Select this option to also include feed components in the report.

    • Stack components: Select this option if you want all components to be displayed below one another. This can be especially useful for dashboards containing large components (e.g. pivot tables) in order to make sure all data is displayed.

    • Dashboard width: Allows you to select a custom width for the report.

  • Below this, the dashboard is displayed. If any data feeds should be specified for the report, you can do so here.

  • When the report is fully configured, click Save & close.

Note
  • By design, the following components are not included in reports: button panel, map, and web components.
  • If access to a dashboard is limited to some users only, this dashboard will not be available to generate reports from DataMiner Cube.
