Types of Report Templates

Running a Report Template

Logpoint automatically runs a report template based on the defined scheduling rules but you can also run it manually. When you run a report manually, it does not change the report’s automatically scheduled time. To view ad-hoc or recurring reports, click Run for the report in Template. To send the report as an email attachment, you must configure the SMTP service.

To run a template manually:

  1. Go to Report >> Report Templates.

  2. Click Run This Report (runreport) icon in Actions.

  3. Select the Repos, Time Zone, and Time Range.

  • Select Generate report with the original data to decrypt the fields in the report. If Data Privacy is enabled, when you select Generate report with the original data, a request message is sent to the users with the Can Grant Access permission. To view the request, go to Settings >> Configurations >> Data Privacy Module >> Pending Request. The report can be viewed or downloaded only after the request is approved.

  • Select Show raw logs to access the raw logs in the report.

Sharing a Report Template

You can share a report template with all Logpoint users and give them read, edit, or full permissions. Any changes made in the report templates are visible to all the shared users. A user with Full permission can also Share and Delete a shared report template. You cannot share a Used report template. You can unshare a report template by removing the permissions for all the user groups from Share Report Template.

Each parameter in a shared report template is categorized into two types:

  1. Global parameters can be changed only by the users with the Edit or Full permissions. Changes in the global parameters are reflected for all the users using the shared report template. The following parameters are global:

    • The name and the report layout of the report template.

    • The queries, query order, and query render type of the report template.

  2. You can make changes to a report specifically for yourself through Personalized parameters. You can change:

    • Scheduling

    • Data privacy configurations if data privacy is enabled

    • Repo selection

    • Email and memory usage for scheduled reports

    • Password

All users with access to a report template can change Personalized parameters but the changes made are only applicable to the user who made them.
