Reports

The Control-M Reports tool enables you to create and generate ad hoc reports using data collected from your environment, as described in Creating a Report Template. Control-M provides default categories that include report templates that you can use to view specific information and generate reports, as described in Generating a Report.

You can use the report templates in the following categories:

Active: Collects data regarding active jobs or other Control-M data from the active environment, such as alerts A notification about the status of a job or component that appears in the Alerts window. or audits.
SLA Management: Collects data for execution status, service A set of workflows that serves a business purpose, and can be monitored as a single unit. name and status, slack time, and total number of SLA Management jobs.
Definition: Collects definition-related information from the Planning domain regarding jobs, folders A container of jobs and sub-folders that passes its definitions to the included jobs and sub-folders., and events An conditional entity that creates a sequential relationship between jobs by enabling the successor job to execute after the predecessor job has executed..
History: Job execution-related reports.
File Transfer: Collects data about file transfers inside your organization and outside external users if Control-M MFT Enterprise add-on is installed.

If you select the Active category, you can generate a report based on Active jobs, which lists the jobs in the current active network or in a historic network.

Control-M Reports supports Acrobat (*.pdf), Excel (*.xlsx), and Comma Separated Values (*.csv) output.

To automate report generation and control report scheduling, you can define a Control-M Report job that runs a Control-M Automation API command through the CLI. If you are using an API to generate reports you can dynamically change parameters, such as filter values during report generation. For more information, see Reports Job Definition.

Active

The following table describes the report types available in the Active category:

Report	Description
Alerts	Lists the alerts raised in Control-M/Server during a defined time range.

For each host, the report provides details of the computer’s number of CPUs, CPU type, OS type, and version. Additionally, a summary is included in the report, which counts the number of hosts for each combination of number of CPUs plus CPU type. The summary in the Managed Servers report shows all hosts that are relevant to the specified time frame, so multiple details per host might appear for multiple reports. Each host has a time frame that is part of a whole period.

Creating a Report Template

This procedure describes how to create a report template and define the criteria to generate data based on your specific requirements.

Begin

From the Reports window, click to highlight the category you want to view.

Click Report and select Add New Report.

The Add report from template pane appears.

Select the relevant report type.
Click Add.

The report template appears with a default name and description.

You can save the report template using the default name, or Click and select Save as to copy the template and use an alternative name.
In the Filters tab, define the data filters that you want to display in the report.

Filters can be specific parameter values, specific Control-M/Servers, or specific time ranges. The filter options vary depending on the report type you choose. For more information, see Filter Options.

You can filter data in an Alerts report to show all alerts that have not been reviewed, by selecting Status from the drop-down list, the Is not operator, and Reviewed as the value.
In the Visible Columns tab, select the fields you want to appear in the report and drag and drop them from the Available Columns to the Visible Columns.

You can change the order of the fields in the Visible Columns by dragging the field up or down in the list.
In the Sorting & Grouping tab, sort and group the fields you have chosen in the Visible Columns tab by doing one or both of the following:
- Click Add a sorting column.
  1. From the drop-down list select the field. If you want to change the order, click either the or arrow to arrange the fields.
  2. To sort by additional fields, click Add a sorting column and repeat the same actions in the step above.
    
    Sorting is limited to five levels.
- Click Add a grouping column (PDF only) and then select a field.
  
  The Grouping is limited to five hierarchies.
To verify and view your customized report before generating the report, click Preview in the bottom pane, and then click Refresh.

By default, the initial results are limited to the first 25.
Click Save.
