The Report Scheduler allows you to schedule the automatic
generation of report at regular intervals. Report could be the result and the
concatenation of multiple report
script files.
The generated report could be saved in the user directory or global directory
and thus be available to WEB remote console user(s).
The report Scheduler uses Report Script File as entries ( .rep extension) and
provides Report as output file with .html extension). Reports are displayed
by a common WEB navigator.
A set of scripts could be saved as a template file and re used in other Plug-in
attached to other hosts.
Like other LoriotPro Directory Plug-in the Report Scheduler is attached to a Directory Host object. In the directory select the host to which you want to attach the Plug-in and from the contextual menu select -> Insert Task -> Report Scheduler.
After installation you get the Plug-in attached to your host.
If you click on the Report Scheduler plug-in in the directory you open the following Dialog box.
The window's fields are described in the table below
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| IP SNMP Agent | The IP address and Name of the host on which this Plug in is running |
| Parse Current Script | Current activity logger |

The Save as Template allows you to save the current set of script file in a template file. The template file could be re used when configuring another Report Scheduler attached to another host of the directory.
The Input script files list are saved in the Scheduler Report Template.
The ouput file is in HTML format and can be see with Internet Explorer. Both Buttons, the Display Last Report and Display All Generated Report will do that. The first, immediatly displays the most recently generated report, the second opens the list of report in a dialog box, it's up to you to choose one for displaying it.
