7 Generating reports
The HP Insight Control for RHEV reports package provides the capability to generate custom reports
containing detailed inventory and health data for your managed HP ProLiant servers (via iLO),
enclosures (via Onboard Administrator), and Virtual Connect modules. This capability is provided
by integration with the Reporting module within RHEV-M. You can generate, organize, secure and
deliver up-to-date ad hoc reports for three entity types: iLO, Onboard Administrator, and Virtual
Connect. To create a dynamic ad hoc report, you can drag and drop the data fields in the RHEVM
Reports: Ad Hoc Editor window. You can also generate the pre-defined static VC_Profile report.
The available reports include:
