Setting up TrueSight Server Automation jobs for data collection in reports


TrueSight Smart Reporting for Server Automation reports are generated from data that is derived from the TrueSight Server Automation database.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Collect data by using jobs.
    Data is collected, in part, using several TrueSight Server Automation jobs. To ensure that the data is available for transfer from the TrueSight Server Automation database to the reports data warehouse, you must import any job-related templates and scripts and then set up the TrueSight Server Automation jobs that gather data for the reports you want to use.
  2. Run ETL.
    TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse uses extract, transform, and load (ETL) to transfer data from the TrueSight Server Automation database to the reports data warehouse. You can run ETL from the command line or as a TrueSight Server Automation Network Shell Script Job. TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse provides several scripts to execute the ETL process. You can view the ETL status by using the TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse console.

    Some reports are based on jobs that run in TrueSight Server Automation, while some reports use data collected in other ways.
