Abstract

This book contains information and procedures relevant to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Reports Portal and Data Warehouse.
The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager includes a comprehensive management history database, which can be utilized by any application to extract a range of information at the data center, cluster, and host levels. Installing Data Warehouse creates the ovirt_engine_history database, to which the Manager is configured to log information for reporting purposes. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports functionality is also available as an optional component. Reports provides a customized implementation of JasperServer and JasperReports, an open source reporting tool capable of being embedded in Java-based applications. It produces reports that can be built and accessed via a web user interface, and then rendered to screen, printed, or exported to a variety of formats including PDF, Excel, CSV, Word, RTF, Flash, ODT and ODS. The Data Warehouse and Reports components are optional, and must be installed and configured in addition to the Manager setup.
Before proceeding with Data Warehouse and Reports installation you must first have installed and configured the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. The Reports functionality depends on the presence of the Data Warehouse; Data Warehouse must be installed and configured before Reports.
It is recommended that you set the system time zone for all machines in your Data Warehouse/Reports deployment to UTC. This ensures that data collection is not interrupted by variations in your local time zone: for example, a change from summer time to winter time.
To calculate an estimate of the space and resources the ovirt_engine_history database will use, use the RHEV Manager History Database Size Calculator tool. The estimate is based on the number of entities and the length of time you have chosen to retain the history records.
Behavior

The following behavior is expected in engine-setup:

Install the Data Warehouse package and the Reports package, run engine-setup, and answer No to configuring Data Warehouse and Reports: 
Configure Data Warehouse on this host (Yes, No) [Yes]: No
Configure Reports on this host (Yes, No) [Yes]: No
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Run engine-setup again; setup no longer presents the option to configure those services.
Workaround

To force engine-setup to present both options again, run engine-setup with the following options appended: 

# engine-setup --otopi-environment='OVESETUP_REPORTS_CORE/enable=none:None OVESETUP_DWH_CORE/enable=none:None'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
To present only the Data Warehouse option, run: 
# engine-setup --otopi-environment='OVESETUP_DWH_CORE/enable=none:None'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
To present only the Reports option, run: 
# engine-setup --otopi-environment='OVESETUP_REPORTS_CORE/enable=none:None'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Note

To configure only the currently installed Data Warehouse and Reports packages, and prevent setup from applying package updates found in enabled repositories, add the --offline option .
Data Warehouse and Reports installation requires between one and three machines, and can be configured in one of the following ways:
  1. Install and configure both Data Warehouse and Reports on the machine on which the Manager is installed.

    This configuration hosts the Data Warehouse and Reports services on your Manager machine. This requires only a single registered machine, and is the simplest to configure; however, it also requires that the services share CPU and memory, and increases the demand on the host machine. Users who require access to the Data Warehouse service or the Reports service will require access to the Manager machine itself.

  2. Install and configure both Data Warehouse and Reports on one separate machine.

    This configuration hosts Data Warehouse and Reports on a single, separate machine. This requires two registered machines; however, it reduces the load on the Manager machine, and avoids potential CPU and memory-sharing conflicts on that machine. Administrators can also allow user access to the Data Warehouse-Reports machine, without the need to grant access to the Manager machine. Note that the Data Warehouse and Reports services will still compete for resources on their single host.

  3. Install and configure Data Warehouse on a separate machine, then install and configure Reports on a separate machine.

    This configuration separates each service onto its own dedicated host. This requires three registered machines; however, it reduces the load on each individual machine, and allows each service to avoid potential conflicts caused by sharing CPU and memory with other processes. Administrators can also allow user access to one particular machine, without the need to grant access to either of the two other machines.

  4. Install and configure Data Warehouse on the Manager machine, then install and configure Reports on a separate machine.

    This configuration hosts Data Warehouse on the Manager machine, and Reports on a separate host. This requires two registered machines; however, it reduces the load on the Manager machine, and avoids some memory-sharing conflicts. Administrators can allow user access to the Reports machine, without the need to grant access to the Manager machine.

  5. Install and configure Data Warehouse on a separate machine, then install and configure Reports on the Manager machine.

    This configuration hosts Data Warehouse on a separate machine, and Reports on the Manager machine. This requires two registered machines; however, it reduces the load on the Manager machine, and avoids some memory-sharing conflicts. Administrators can allow user access to the Data Warehouse machine, without the need to grant access to the Manager machine.

If you choose to host the Data Warehouse database on a machine that is separate from the machine on which the Data Warehouse service is installed, you will require an additional machine for that purpose. The same is true if you choose to host the Reports database remotely.

Note

Detailed user, administration, and installation guides for JasperReports are available in /usr/share/jasperreports-server-pro/docs/
Overview

Install and configure Data Warehouse and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports on the same machine as the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

Overview

Install and configure Data Warehouse on a separate host from that on which the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is installed, then install and configure Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports on the Manager machine. Hosting the Data Warehouse service on a separate machine helps to reduce the load on the Manager machine. Note that hosting the Manager and Reports on the same machine means that these processes will share CPU and memory.

Installing this scenario involves two key steps:
  1. Install and configure Data Warehouse on a separate machine.
  2. Install and configure Reports on the Manager machine.
Prerequisites

Ensure that you have completed the following prerequisites:

  1. You must have installed and configured the Manager on a separate machine.
  2. To set up the Data Warehouse machine, you must have the following:
    • A virtual or physical machine with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 or later versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installed.

    • The password from the Manager's /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/10-setup-database.conf file.
    • Allowed access from the Data Warehouse machine to the Manager database machine's TCP port 5432.
  3. To set up the Reports machine, you must have the following:
    • The password from the Data Warehouse machine's /etc/ovirt-engine-dwh/ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf.d/10-setup-database.conf file.
  4. If you choose to use a remote Data Warehouse database or Reports database, you must set up each database before installing the Data Warehouse and Reports services. You must have the following information about each database host:
    • The fully qualified domain name of the host
    • The port through which the database can be reached (5432 by default)
    • The database name
    • The database user
    • The database password

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Next Steps

Access the Reports Portal at http://demo.redhat.com/ovirt-engine-reports, replacing demo.redhat.com with the fully qualified domain name of the Manager. If during the Manager installation you selected a non-default HTTP port then append :port to the URL, replacing :port with the port that you chose.

Log in using the user name admin and the password you set during reports installation. Note that the first time you log in to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports, a number of web pages are generated and, as a result, your initial attempt to log in may take some time to complete.
Migrate the Data Warehouse service, the Reports service, or both from the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to separate machines. Hosting the Data Warehouse service and the Reports service on separate machines reduces the load on each individual machine, and allows each service to avoid potential conflicts caused by sharing CPU and memory with other processes.
Migrate the Data Warehouse service and connect it with the existing ovirt_engine_history database, or optionally migrate the ovirt_engine_history database to a new database machine before migrating the Data Warehouse service. If the ovirt_engine_history database is hosted on the Manager, migrating the database in addition to the Data Warehouse service further reduces the competition for resources on the Manager machine. You can migrate the database to the same machine onto which you will migrate the Data Warehouse service, or to a machine that is separate from both the Manager machine and the new Data Warehouse service machine.
Optionally migrate the ovirt_engine_history database before you migrate the Data Warehouse service. This procedure uses pg_dump to create a database backup, and psql to restore the backup on the new database machine. The pg_dump command provides flexible options for backing up and restoring databases; for more information on options that may be suitable for your system, see the pg_dump manual page.
The following procedure assumes that a PostgreSQL database has already been configured on the new machine. To migrate the Data Warehouse service only, see Section 1.4.2, “Migrating the Data Warehouse Service to a Separate Machine”.

Important

If the existing Data Warehouse database is connected to an existing Reports service, you must reconfigure that service by running engine-setup and entering the details of the new Data Warehouse database when prompted. If you do not do this, the Reports service is still connected to the old database, and does not receive any new data.

Procedure 1.9. Migrating the Data Warehouse Database to a Separate Machine

  1. On the existing database machine, dump the ovirt_engine_history database into a SQL script file: 
    # pg_dump ovirt_engine_history > ovirt_engine_history.sql
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Copy the script file from the existing database machine to the new database machine.
  3. Restore the ovirt_engine_history database on the new database machine: 
    # psql -d ovirt_engine_history -f ovirt_engine_history.sql
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    The command above assumes that the database on the new machine is also named ovirt_engine_history.
Migrate a Data Warehouse service that was installed and configured on the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to a dedicated host machine. Hosting the Data Warehouse service on a separate machine helps to reduce the load on the Manager machine. Note that this procedure migrates the Data Warehouse service only; to migrate the Data Warehouse database (also known as the ovirt_engine_history database) prior to migrating the Data Warehouse service, see Section 1.4.1, “Migrating the Data Warehouse Database to a Separate Machine”.
Installing this scenario involves four key steps:
  1. Set up the new Data Warehouse machine.
  2. Stop the Data Warehouse service on the Manager machine.
  3. Configure the new Data Warehouse machine.
  4. Remove the Data Warehouse package from the Manager machine.
Prerequisites

Ensure that you have completed the following prerequisites:

  1. You must have installed and configured the Manager and Data Warehouse on the same machine.
  2. To set up the new Data Warehouse machine, you must have the following:
    • A virtual or physical machine with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 or later versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installed.
    • A subscription to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization entitlement pools.
    • The password from the Manager's /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/10-setup-database.conf file.
    • Allowed access from the Data Warehouse machine to the Manager database machine's TCP port 5432.
    • The ovirt_engine_history database credentials from the Manager's /etc/ovirt-engine-dwh/ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf.d/10-setup-database.conf file. If you migrated the ovirt_engine_history database using Section 1.4.1, “Migrating the Data Warehouse Database to a Separate Machine”, retrieve the credentials you defined during the database setup on that machine.

  1. Stop the Data Warehouse service: 
    # service ovirt-engine-dwhd stop
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. If the ovirt_engine_history database, the Manager database, or both are hosted on the Manager machine and were configured by a previous version (Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.4 or prior) that was then upgraded, you must allow the new Data Warehouse machine to access them. Edit the /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf file and modify the listen_addresses line so that it matches the following: 
    listen_addresses = '*'
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    If the line does not exist or has been commented out, add it manually.
    If one or both databases are hosted on a remote machine, you must manually grant access by editing the postgres.conf file on each machine, and adding the listen_addresses line, as above. If both databases are hosted on the Manager machine and were configured during a clean setup of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.5, access is granted by default.

Procedure 1.13. Step 4: Removing the Data Warehouse Package from the Manager Machine

  1. Remove the Data Warehouse package: 
    # yum remove rhevm-dwh
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    This step prevents the Data Warehouse service from attempting to automatically restart after an hour.
  2. Remove the Data Warehouse files: 
    # rm -rf /etc/ovirt-engine-dwh /var/lib/ovirt-engine-dwh
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The Data Warehouse service is now hosted on a separate machine from that on which the Manager is hosted.
Migrate a Reports service that was installed and configured on the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to a dedicated host machine. Hosting the Reports service on a separate machine helps to reduce the load on the Manager machine. Note that this procedure migrates the Reports service only. The Reports database (also known as the ovirt_engine_reports database) cannot be migrated; you must create a new ovirt_engine_reports database when you configure Reports on the new machine. Saved ad hoc reports can be migrated from the Manager machine to the new Reports machine. Migrate the Reports service only after the Manager and Data Warehouse have been configured.
Installing this scenario involves three key steps:
  1. Configure the new Reports machine.
  2. Migrate any saved reports to the new Reports machine.
  3. Remove the Reports service from the Manager machine.
Prerequisites

Ensure that you have completed the following prerequisites:

  1. You must have installed and configured the Manager and Reports on the same machine.
  2. You must have installed and configured Data Warehouse, either on the Manager machine or on a separate machine.
  3. To set up the new Reports machine, you must have the following:
    • A virtual or physical machine with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 or later versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installed
    • A subscription to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization entitlement pools

2.1. Introduction
Copy link

2.1.1. History Database Overview
Copy link

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization includes a comprehensive management history database, which can be used by reporting applications to generate reports at data center, cluster and host levels. This chapter provides information to enable you to set up queries against the history database and generate reports.
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager uses PostgreSQL 8.4.x as a database platform to store information about the state of the virtualization environment, its configuration and performance. At install time, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager creates a PostgreSQL database called engine.
Installing the rhevm-dwh package creates a second database called ovirt_engine_history, which contains historical configuration information and statistical metrics collected every minute over time from the engine operational database. Tracking the changes to the database provides information on the objects in the database, enabling the user to analyze activity, enhance performance, and resolve difficulties.

Warning

The replication of data in the ovirt_engine_history database is performed by the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Extract Transform Load Service, ovirt-engine-dwhd. The service is based on Talend Open Studio, a data integration tool. This service is configured to start automatically during the data warehouse package setup. It is a Java program responsible for extracting data from the engine database, transforming the data to the history database standard and loading it to the ovirt_engine_history database.
The ovirt-engine-dwhd service must not be stopped.
The ovirt_engine_history database schema changes over time. The database includes a set of database views to provide a supported, versioned API with a consistent structure. A view is a virtual table composed of the result set of a database query. The database stores the definition of a view as a SELECT statement. The result of the SELECT statement populates the virtual table that the view returns. A user references the view name in PL/PGSQL statements the same way a table is referenced.
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization provides a customized implementation of JasperServer, which allows web-based access to a range of pre-configured reports and dashboards, plus the ability to create ad hoc reports.
JasperReports is an open source reporting tool, capable of being embedded in Java-based applications. It produces reports which can be rendered to screen, printed, or exported to a variety of formats including PDF, Excel, CSV, Word, RTF, Flash, ODT and ODS. JasperReports integrates with JasperServer, an open source reporting server for JasperReports. Using JasperServer, reports built in JasperReports can be accessed via a web interface.

2.2. History Database
Copy link

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Reports uses data from the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization History Database (called ovirt_engine_history) which tracks the engine database over time.

Important

Sufficient data must exist in the history database to produce meaningful reports. Most reports use values aggregated on a daily basis. Meaningful reports can only be produced if data for at least several days is available. In particular, because trend reports are designed to highlight long term trends in the system, a sufficient history is required to highlight meaningful trends.

2.2.2. Tracking Configuration History
Copy link

The ETL service, ovirt-engine-dwhd, tracks three types of changes:
  • A new entity is added to the engine database - the ETL Service replicates the change to the ovirt_engine_history database as a new entry.
  • An existing entity is updated - the ETL Service replicates the change to the ovirt_engine_history database as a new entry.
  • An entity is removed from the engine database - A new entry in the ovirt_engine_history database flags the corresponding entity as removed. Removed entities are only flagged as removed. To maintain correctness of historical reports and representations, they are not physically removed.
The configuration tables in the ovirt_engine_history database differ from the corresponding tables in the engine database in several ways. The most apparent difference is they contain fewer configuration columns. This is because certain configuration items are less interesting to report than others and are not kept due to database size considerations. Also, columns from a few tables in the engine database appear in a single table in ovirt_engine_history and have different column names to make viewing data more convenient and comprehensible. All configuration tables contain:
  • a history_id to indicate the configuration version of the entity;
  • a create_date field to indicate when the entity was added to the system;
  • an update_date field to indicate when the entity was changed; and
  • a delete_date field to indicate the date the entity was removed from the system.

2.2.3. Recording Statistical History
Copy link

The ETL service collects data into the statistical tables every minute. Data is stored for every minute of the past 24 hours, at a minimum, but can be stored for as long as 48 hours depending on the last time a deletion job was run. Minute-by-minute data more than two hours old is aggregated into hourly data and stored for two months. Hourly data more than two days old is aggregated into daily data and stored for five years.
Hourly data and daily data can be found in the hourly and daily tables.
Each statistical datum is kept in its respective aggregation level table: samples, hourly, and daily history. All history tables also contain a history_id column to uniquely identify rows. Tables reference the configuration version of a host in order to enable reports on statistics of an entity in relation to its past configuration.
The following is a list of options for configuring application settings for the Data Warehouse service. These options are available in the /usr/share/ovirt-engine-dwh/services/ovirt-engine-dwhd/ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf file. Configure any changes to the default values in an override file under /etc/ovirt-engine-dwh/ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf.d/. Restart the Data Warehouse service after saving the changes.

DWH_TABLES_KEEP_SAMPLES 24 The number of hours that data from DWH_SAMPLING is stored. Data more than two hours old is aggregated into hourly data.
DWH_TABLES_KEEP_HOURLY 1440 The number of hours that hourly data is stored. The default is 60 days. Hourly data more than two days old is aggregated into daily data.
DWH_TABLES_KEEP_DAILY 43800 The number of hours that daily data is stored. The default is five years.
DWH_ERROR_EVENT_INTERVAL 300000 The minimum interval, in milliseconds, at which errors are pushed to the Manager's audit.log.

2.2.5. Tracking Tag History
Copy link

The ETL Service collects tag information as displayed in the Administration Portal every minute and stores this data in the tags historical tables. The ETL Service tracks five types of changes:
  • A tag is created in the Administration Portal - the ETL Service copies the tag details, position in the tag tree and relation to other objects in the tag tree.
  • A entity is attached to the tag tree in the Administration Portal - the ETL Service replicates the addition to the ovirt_engine_history database as a new entry.
  • A tag is updated - the ETL Service replicates the change of tag details to the ovirt_engine_history database as a new entry.
  • An entity or tag branch is removed from the Administration Portal - the ovirt_engine_history database flags the corresponding tag and relations as removed in new entries. Removed tags and relations are only flagged as removed or detached. In order to maintain correctness of historical reports and representations, they are not physically removed.
  • A tag branch is moved - the corresponding tag and relations are updated as new entries. Moved tags and relations are only flagged as updated. In order to maintain correctness of historical reports and representations, they are not physically updated.
Summary

To allow access to the history database without allowing edits, you must create a read-only PostgreSQL user that can log in to and read from the ovirt_engine_history database. This procedure must be executed on the system on which the history database is installed.

Procedure 2.1. Allowing Read-Only Access to the History Database

  1. Create the user to be granted read-only access to the history database: 
    # psql -U postgres -c "CREATE ROLE [user name] WITH LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '[password]';" -d ovirt_engine_history
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Grant the newly created user permission to connect to the history database: 
    # psql -U postgres -c "GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE ovirt_engine_history TO [user name];"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Grant the newly created user usage of the public schema: 
    # psql -U postgres -c "GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO [user name];" ovirt_engine_history
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. Generate the rest of the permissions that will be granted to the newly created user and save them to a file: 
    # psql -U postgres -c "SELECT 'GRANT SELECT ON ' || relname || ' TO [user name];' FROM pg_class JOIN pg_namespace ON pg_namespace.oid = pg_class.relnamespace WHERE nspname = 'public' AND relkind IN ('r', 'v');" --pset=tuples_only=on  ovirt_engine_history > grant.sql
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  5. Use the file you created in the previous step to grant permissions to the newly created user: 
    # psql -U postgres -f grant.sql ovirt_engine_history
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  6. Remove the file you used to grant permissions to the newly created user: 
    # rm grant.sql
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Result

You can now access the ovirt_engine_history database with the newly created user using the following command: 

# psql -U [user name] ovirt_engine_history
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
SELECT statements against tables and views in the ovirt_engine_history database succeed, while modifications fail.

2.2.7. Reports Examples
Copy link

The following examples provide an introduction to reports produced from queries to the ovirt_engine_history database. The database gives users access to a rich data set and enables a variety of complex reporting scenarios. These examples illustrate only basic reporting requirements.
Resource Utilization on a Single Host

This example produces a resource utilization report for a single host. The resource utilization report provides CPU- and memory-usage percentage information from readings taken at one-minute intervals. This kind of report is useful for gaining insight into the load factor of an individual host over a short period of time. The report is defined by the following SQL query. Ensure the values provided for the host_name and history_datetime components of the where clause are substituted with the appropriate values for your environment and that the latest configuration is in use.

Example 2.1. Report query for resource utilization on a single host

          
 select history_datetime as DateTime, cpu_usage_percent as CPU, memory_usage_percent as Memory
    from host_configuration, host_samples_history
    where host_configuration.host_id = host_samples_history.host_id
    and host_name = 'example.labname.abc.company.com'
    and host_configuration.history_id in (select max(a.history_id)
    						from host_configuration as a
    						where host_configuration.host_id = a.host_id)
    and history_datetime >= '2011-07-01 18:45'
    and history_datetime <= '2011-07-31 21:45'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
This query returns a table of data with one row per minute:

2010-07-01 18:49 33 0
2010-07-01 18:50 25 1
Compose the data into a graph or chart using third-party data analysis and visualization tools such as OpenOffice.org Calc and Microsoft Excel. For this example, a line graph showing the utilization for a single host over time is a useful visualization. Figure 2.1, “Single host utilization line graph” was produced using the Chart Wizard tool in OpenOffice.org Calc.

Resource Utilization Across All Hosts

This example produces an aggregated resource utilization report across all hosts in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager environment. Aggregated usage percentages for CPU and memory are shown with an hourly temporal resolution. This kind of report reveals utilization trends for the entire environment over a long period of time and is useful for capacity planning purposes. The following SQL query defines the report. Ensure the values provided for the history_datetime components of the where clause are substituted with appropriate values for your environment.

Example 2.2. Report query for resource utilization across all hosts

    select extract(hour from history_datetime) as Hour, avg(cpu_usage_percent) as CPU, avg(memory_usage_percent) as Memory
    from host_hourly_history
    where history_datetime >= '2011-07-01' and history_datetime < '2011-07-31'
    group by extract(hour from history_datetime)
    order by extract(hour from history_datetime)

Tag Filter of Latest Virtual Machine Configuration

This example filters the latest virtual machine configuration list using the history tag tables. This kind of report demonstrates usage of the tags tree built in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to filter lists. The following SQL query defines this report. This query uses a predefined function that receives tag history IDs and returns the tag path with latest names of the tags in the Administration Portal. Ensure the values provided for the function result components of the where clause are substituted with appropriate values for your environment.

Example 2.3. 

	SELECT vm_name
  FROM vm_configuration
		inner join latest_tag_relations_history on (vm_configuration.vm_id = latest_tag_relations_history.entity_id)
			inner join latest_tag_details on (latest_tag_details.tag_id = latest_tag_relations_history.parent_id)
 WHERE getpathinnames(latest_tag_details.history_id) like '/root/tlv%'

List Current Virtual Machines' Names, Types, and Operating Systems

This example produces a list of all current virtual machines names, types and operating systems in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager environment. This kind of report demonstrates the usage of the ENUM table. The following SQL query defines this report:

Example 2.4. 

SELECT 	vm_name, vm_type, operating_system
  FROM 	vm_configuration
		inner join enum_translator as vm_type_value on (vm_type_value.enum_type = 'VM_TYPE' and vm_configuration.vm_type = vm_type_value.enum_key)

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports tool supports the same browsers that are supported by the corresponding version of JasperReports Server. For an updated list, navigate to http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/v55-v551-v550/jasperreports-server-supported-platform-datasheet and click Web Browsers in the table of contents.
The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Reports Portal does not use your directory server for authentication.
By default, there are two Reports Portal users: admin and superuser. The passwords for these users were set during the installation of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Reports. Generally, additional users must be added manually.
When a domain user accesses the Reports Portal from within the Administration Portal using right-click reporting, a corresponding user is automatically created in the Reports Portal using the user's domain user name. This user cannot log in to the Reports Portal directly, but is able to view all the reports accessible from the Administration portal.

Note

Previously, the admin user name was rhevm-admin. If you are performing a clean installation, the user name is now admin. If you are performing an upgrade, the user name will remain rhevm-admin.
Change the password for the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Reports administrative user using the ovirt-engine-reports-tool utility. Note that changing the Reports administrative password requires you to restart the ovirt-engine-reportsd service, and access to Reports functionality will be interrupted.

Procedure 2.2. Resetting the Password for the Reports Administrative User

  1. Log in to the machine on which Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Reports is installed.
  2. Run the ovirt-engine-reports-tool command: 
    # ovirt-engine-reports-tool
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Enter the number that corresponds to the change the password option, and press Enter: 
    (1) Change the password of the internal Reports Admin
(1, 2, 3) []: 1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. Enter a new password, and press Enter: 
    Reports admin password: NEW_PASS
Please confirm password: NEW_PASS
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  5. Restart the ovirt-engine-reportsd service to apply the change: 
    # service ovirt-engine-reportsd restart
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The ovirt-engine-reports-tool utility can also be used to export and import saved ad hoc reports. See Section 2.3.16, “Backing Up and Restoring Saved Ad Hoc Reports” for more information about the import and export functions.

2.3.5. Logging in to Access the Reports Portal

The Reports Portal does not use your directory service for authentication. By default, the Reports Portal includes two users: admin and superuser. Generally, additional users need to be created within the Reports Portal.
Summary

You can add additional reports users, giving them access to the reports portal. Complete this procedure as a user with sufficient permissions to manage other users, like admin.

  1. In to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization reports portal, hover over the Manage button on the top menu bar.
  2. Click on Users in the drop-down menu that appears to access the Manage Users interface. It contains three panes:
    • Organizations
    • Users
    • Properties
  3. Select a user in the Users pane by clicking on the name of the user. Information about the user displays in the Properties pane.
  4. Click the Edit button at the bottom of the user's Properties pane.
    The Properties pane contains these fields:
    • User name,
    • User ID,
    • Email,
    • Password (required),
    • Confirm Password (required),
    • A User is enabled check box,

The Data Center and Cluster parameters are cascading. Once a user selects a data center, only clusters within that data center are available for selection. Similarly, if a user selects a cluster, the Host Type field updates to show only host types that exist in the selected cluster. Cascading parameters filter out objects that do not contain child objects relevant to the report. For example, a report pertaining to virtual machines removes the selection of clusters that do not contain virtual machines. A report pertaining to both virtual machines and hosts only provides a selection from clusters containing both virtual machines and hosts.

Deleted objects

Objects deleted (removed) from the system are still recorded in the reporting history database. Select deleted objects, such as clusters, data centers and hosts, as values for report parameters if required. The bottom of the parameter options list shows deleted objects, which are suffixed with the date of removal from the system.

You can toggle whether deleted entries are shown in the report using the Show Deleted Entities? field in the Input Controls window.

The Working with the Ad Hoc Editor section of the online help explains the ad hoc report interface in detail.
Export saved ad hoc reports from one Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Reports machine and import them to another Reports machine of the same version using the ovirt-engine-reports-tool utility. You can also use the export option on its own to take regular backups of your saved reports. Saved ad hoc reports can only be imported on a Reports environment that is the same version as the Reports environment on which the reports were created.

Procedure 2.3. Migrating Saved Reports to Another Machine

  1. On the Reports machine, run the ovirt-engine-reports-tool command: 
    # ovirt-engine-reports-tool
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Enter the number that corresponds to the export option, and press Enter: 
    (2) Export Jasperreports saved reports to a zip file
(1, 2, 3) []: 2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Enter the absolute path for the zip file to export saved reports to, and press Enter: 
    Filename to export saved reports to: /tmp/saved-reports.zip
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. Copy the zip file to another Reports machine: 
    # scp /tmp/saved-reports.zip reports-machine-fqdn:/tmp/
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  5. On the second Reports machine, run the ovirt-engine-reports-tool command: 
    # ovirt-engine-reports-tool
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  6. Enter the number that corresponds to the import option, and press Enter: 
    (3) Import a saved reports zip file to Jasperreports
(1, 2, 3) []: 3
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  7. Enter the absolute path of the zip file from which to import, and press Enter: 
    Filename to import saved reports from: /tmp/saved-reports.zip
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
When the command completes, the saved reports are visible in the Reports Portal of the second Reports machine.
