The following table provides an overview of the domain folders present in the BladeLogic report package.
Data domains
| |
|---|
| Contains data associated with the Audit Jobs in BMC Server Automation and a set of statistical metrics based on the results of running the jobs.
You can use Audit reports to determine whether server configurations match a standard configuration and identify servers that deviate from the standard. You can automatically correct any deviations from that standard. |
| Contains data associated with the Compliance Jobs in BMC Server Automation and a set of statistical metrics based on the results of running these jobs. Compliance reports provide detailed information about the results of Compliance Jobs for servers in your data center. |
| Contains data associated with BMC Server Automation Snapshot Jobs. These jobs gather inventory information about a collection of server configuration objects that are defined in the templates associated with the jobs.
You can use Inventory reports to determine the hardware and software objects that are present in your server environment. Several reports provide information about virtual machines in your environment.
BMC recommends that you use the inventory templates supplied by BMC to capture inventory data. These templates captures the relevant data for assets without impacting the performance of the product. For information about downloading templates, see Installing-Inventory-templates-and-other-scripts. WarningNote BMC recommends that you do not modify these templates. If you want to add additional assets or attributes, you must make a copy of the templates and modify the copy to include additional assets or attributes as required. |
| Contains changed results data for all Inventory assets. The Change Tracking reports provide overview and detailed information about the changes to hardware and software objects in your server environment.
Information in the Change Tracking reports is mainly derived from the Snapshot job runs in BMC Server Automation. Snapshot Jobs include a feature called change tracking that lets you view the changes that occur between the first time you take the snapshot, which functions as the baseline, and the next snapshot at the current moment in time. If no changes are made to either the job definition or the component template associated with the job, subsequent runs of the job only collect server object attributes that have changed since the last time the job was run.
The Change Tracking domain has an attribute, Change Type, which shows whether data is added, modified, removed or captured through baseline. For more information about baseline, see the BMC Server Automation documentation at BMC online documentation portal. |
| Contains a set of statistical metrics based on the results of running BMC Server Automation jobs. Job Activity reports provide data and statistical measurements related to all jobs that run in BMC Server Automation. |
| Contains data associated with BMC Server Automation authorizations.
RBAC reports provide summaries of role-level and object-level authorizations, assigned roles for users, and audit trails for changes to system objects.
To view the reports data, you must have the GlobalReportAdmins, GlobalReportViewers, or RBACAdmins role assigned to you. WarningNote Users with all other roles can view only the RBAC reports (without data) and the RBAC folder in the model. |
| Contains data associated with the BMC Server Automation Patch Analysis Jobs and a set of statistical metrics based on the results collected by these jobs.
Patch reports provide overview and detailed information about the vendor-recommended patches that are installed on or missing from the servers in a data center. You can use Patch reports to evaluate how well servers in your data center conform to vendor recommendations and to track patch policy compliance over time. |
| Contains data associated with the servers being used at a data center, such as information about the users accessing those servers. Command Usage reports allow you to monitor the execution of various commands on servers and when those commands have been executed. |
| Contains data associated with the BMC Server Automation Provisioning Jobs. Provisioning reports provide detailed information about provisioning activity in a data center. |
