Generating base reports

Some predefined base reports provide fast, easy access to information, requiring no further configuration before rendering. Others require you to make selections before rendering. Your selections for the configurable reports can cause the page to redisplay to populate additional configuration fields with the correct options. 

The following table describes each base report and the configuration information required to render it.

Report name

Description

Environment Contents

Provides information about the last instances of each package deployed for each environment. If the last instance of a package was not successfully deployed, that result is reported along with the last successful instance deployed.

Deployed Instances

Lists the packages, and shows information about each instance, the instance route, and the environments where the instance has been deployed. If the last deployment of an instance into an environment was not successful but a successful deployment of that instance into that environment has occurred, both results are reported.

Instance Delta

Compares two instances of a package or repository. The report identifies changes in properties and content, such as content name, stored size, location, and so on. You can use this report to track the environment drift.
