## Chapter 5. Viewing Reports

This chapter describes how to generate and view the following reports:

- Events registered reports

- Actions taken reports

- Availability reports

- Diagnostic reports

- Hardware reports

- Software reports

- System reports

## About Reports

ESP generates reports based on parameters that you specify through the Web-based interface or command line interface.

In single system manager mode, ESP generates reports from the data that is stored in the ESP database on the local system. In system group manager mode, ESP generates reports from the information that is stored in the ESP database on the group manager system.

Figure 5-1 shows an example report generated by the Web-based interface. Figure 5-2 shows an example report generated by the Web-based interface in printable format.

Figure 5-1. Example Report (Web-based Interface)

Figure 5-2. Example Report (Web-based Interface Printable Format)

If you use the Web-based interface to generate and view reports, there are several controls that you can use to navigate the reports. (Refer to Table 5-1.)

Table 5-1. Report Navigation Controls

Control | Function
--- | ---
| Select the number of report entries (records) to show on a page
| Select the software application to view in a software inventory report
| Display the report in the printable format that shows an ASCII table with all report entries
| Expand all rows in the table to show subcomponents of each row
| Contract all rows in the table to show only the top-level components
| Contract the current row
| Expand the current row to show all subcomponents of the component shown in the row
| Go to the last page of report
| Go to the next page of the report
| Go to the previous page of the report
| Go to the first page of the report

Table 5-17. Software Changes Report Contents (System Group Manager Mode)

Column Heading | Description
--- | ---
`No.` | Index number in the table
`Software Name` | Name of the software application

#### Using the Command Line Interface

Use the following syntax of the `espreport` command to view a software changes report:

    /usr/sbin/espreport swchanges    [-from <mm/dd/yyyy>] [-to <mm/dd/yyyy>]

Use the `-from` and `-to` options to specify a range of dates. If you do not use these options, the report includes all available data.

## System Reports

There are two types of system reports:

- System inventory reports

- System changes reports

### System Inventory Reports

System inventory reports show the current system and ESP information.

#### Using the Web-based Interface

Perform the following procedure to use the Web-based interface to generate a system inventory report:

1. Click on the `Reports` button.

2. Click on the `System` button.

3. Click on the `Inventory` button.

   The interface displays the `System` window. (Figure 5-46 shows an example system inventory report in single system manager mode. Figure 5-47 shows an example system inventory report in system group manager mode.)

   Figure 5-46. Example System Inventory Report (Single System Manager Mode)

   Figure 5-47. Example System Inventory Report (System Group Manager Mode)

#### Using the Command Line Interface

Use the following syntax of the `espreport` command to generate a system information report:

    /usr/sbin/espreport sysinfo [all]

If you specify the `all` option, the command displays the system name, serial number, type, IP address, and system ID. If you do not specify the `all` option, this command displays only the system serial number.

Use the following syntax of the `espreport` command to view a summary report that includes system information, events, hardware and software changes, logbook information, availability overview, and local system disk usage:

    /usr/sbin/espreport summary [-from <mm/dd/yyyy>] [-to <mm/dd/yyyy>]

Use the `-from` and `-to` options to specify a range of dates. If you do not use these options, the report includes all available data.

### System Changes Reports

System change reports show any system changes (system name, IP address, etc.) that occur within a specific time period.

#### Using the Web-based Interface (Single System Manager Mode)

Perform the following procedure to use the Web-based interface to generate a system inventory report from single system manager mode:

1. Click on the `Reports` button.

2. Click on the `System` button.

3. Click on the `Changes` button.

   The interface displays the `History of System Changes` window. (Refer to Figure 5-48.)
