XpoLog help - Creating dashboard data
 

There are three means for creating dashboard data:

  • The first one is by running the automatic configuration wizard. Once applications have been selected by the user and their configurations (their corresponding folders, logs and reports) created (steps 1 and 2 of the wizard), the wizard can continue to generate the dashboard data. Just press the 'Next' link to run both the reports of the created applications and the dashboard data generator. XpoLog will generate report data for each of the applications' reports for the last day, while the dashboard data generator will run on the applications' log data of the last month. To set a different time frame for the generation of the dashboard data, click, before pressing the 'Next' link, the 'Advanced' link and enter a different time rule - either in terms of from/to dates or in terms of previous/last days.
     

  • The second mean to create dashboard data is from the dashboard itself. Enter the dashboard by selecting the 'Dashboard' link from the XpoLog's home page or by pressing the 'Dashboard' tab from anywhere in the application. After the dashboard data has been processed and displayed in the main pane, open the 'Select Applications' slide in the left pane. Navigate through your system's applications tree and select the applications, folders or logs you want to generate dashboard data for.
    Open the 'Generate Data' slide to set the time frame for which data should be generated. If applications have been selected in the previous step, check the 'only selected apps' check box to generate data for these applications only. If you want to generate dashboard data for your entire system, leave this checkbox unchecked. Generating dashboard data for your entire system might take though a long time, so always consider generating only the data you need.
     

  • The last mean for generating dashboard data is by setting the dashboard scheduler. After the dashboard component has been selected, select the 'Administration' menu. Click the 'Time Rule' tab to display the dashboard generation and display time rules.
    In the 'Health report execution' section set the time frame you want the dashboard data to be generated for. In the 'Run health and statistics on the pervious' entry set the time unit and the time amount (for instance 1 day - pervious day, or simply yesterday) to define that time frame.
    In the 'Scheduling' section, set the data do define when the dashboard data generation should occur.
    Select either the days of the weeks in which the execution should take place, or enter instead the days of the month and the desired months in which you want your job to run.
    After defining the days at which your job should be executed you define the time of the desired executions. You can enter either a specific time (in the 'Activate on the given hour' section) or define hours interval and minutes interval, so that on the selected days the operation will be executed in the given hours intervals and within each hour in the given minutes interval. For example, selecting in the scheduling section 'Every month' and 'Every day' and then defining to iterate every three hours and within each hour every 20 minutes will cause the job to be executed every day at 00:20, 00:40, 01:00, 03:00, 03:20 and so on.
