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.
