Reporting in multisite deployments

BMC Decision Support for Server Automation can aggregate data across multiple BMC Server Automation sites. In the case of multiple sites, report authors might need to report on a subset of sites or allow report viewers to filter report results by site.

The BladeLogic data model includes a site data column for several data groups, such as job, template, and server. This column enables you to create reports in which you can view site information and filter data by sites.

In a multisite installation, sites (with locally managed servers) provide data to a central reports data warehouse for consolidated, enterprise-wide reporting. Data from the BMC Server Automation databases is used to populate the central reports data warehouse.

Users with the GlobalReportAdmins role can view data from all sites in a multisite installation. Other users can view data from the site to which their role has access. For more information about roles and access to data, see Managing access.
