Reports¶

The Reports section gives an overview of the network status by aggregating data collected by the other modules.

Configuration changes¶

The Configuration changes report shows the configuration changes detected by Netshot over the last hours or days, or on a precise day.

Note that the change date/time is the moment when Netshot took the snapshot, not the precise time of the change itself. Even if the snapshot was automatically taken after detection of the change, it occurred several minutes after the actual change. Also, if several changes were made to the configuration of a device within a few minutes, Netshot probably saw a single change only.

Device access failures¶

The Device access failures report lists the devices which haven't been successfully backed up by a snapshot task for the last X days, where X can be selected using the numeric field (3 by default). Change the number of days and click the Update button to refresh the list.

The disabled devices are excluded from the list.

The purpose of this report is to easily identify which devices are not responding to Netshot snapshot attempts anymore.

Configuration compliance¶

This report gives the compliance percentage for device groups. A device is flagged as non-compliant as soon as it fails at least one rule.

If you click on a group, you'll see the list of non-conforming devices.

If a group of devices doesn't appear in the compliance reports, this is probably because it was marked as hidden. Edit it in the Devices section to change this.

Software compliance¶

This report gives you, for each group of devices, the percentage of Gold, Silver, Bronze and non-compliant devices, resulting from the software rules defined in the Compliance section.

Click on a category in the legend to display the matching devices at the bottom of the page.

Hardware support status¶

This report gives the trend of hardware support over time. This is based on end-of-sale and end-of-life dates that you have defined for part numbers in the Compliance section. When a hardware module becomes end-of-sale (or end-of-life), any device with such a module becomes itself end-of-sale (or end-of-life). The graph in the Hardware support report gives the number of end-of-sale and end-of-life devices, increasing over time. The milestones (dates when batches of devices become end-of-sale or end-of-life) are listed below the table. If you click on the number of devices, you'll get the actual corresponding devices.

Data export¶

You can export data collected by Netshot into an Excel file.

The options are self-explanatory. Click on Download the result to generate and get the file. The generation of the file could take a few minutes if there are many devices in the database.
