Report

The report function is used to generate reports from existing dashboards (e.g. Grafana), either as a PDF file, as raw data export, or a combination of both.

    A[Create a <br> Grafana Dashboard] --> B[Dashboard]
    B --> C[Create a Report]
    C --> D[Report]
    D --> E[Create a <br> Dashboard Template]
  1. Create a Grafana Dashboard: First, create and configure a dashboard in Grafana.

  2. Dashboard in the Settings App: The created and configured dashboard is then created in the Settings App.

  3. Create a Report: Next, use report variables to create a report. This report will be linked to the previously created dashboard in the Settings App.

  4. Create a Dashboard Template: From the dashboard, which now also contains reports, create a dashboard template.

  5. Apply the Dashboard Template: The created dashboard template can then be applied to machines in a subsequent rollout of the dashboard template.


Creating Reports

The prerequisite for creating reports is the creation of a dashboard, which serves as the basis for the report. Reports can only be generated for dashboards of the type Grafana-Dashboards .
