Create reports using log entries that have been forwarded to an Elasticsearch cluster

You can generate some types of reports using log entries that have been forwarded to an Elasticsearch cluster.

Before you begin

Configure the Log Server or the Management Server to forward log data to the Elasticsearch cluster.

Report designs that are supported for log entries that are stored on an Elasticsearch cluster are grouped together in the SMCaaS Application. Some statistics items are not supported for log entries that are stored on an Elasticsearch cluster. Statistics items that are not supported are indicated with an icon in the SMCaaS Application.

Note: If the report includes report items that are not supported, empty Report Sections might be generated in the report.

Steps

  1. Select Monitoring Configuration.
  2. Browse to Reports > Design.
  3. Right-click a Report Design, then select Start.
  4. On the Storage tab of the Report Operation Properties dialog box, select Elasticsearch.
  5. Click OK.
