How to add custom reports

[SH]

Hi,

I installed the new LS versionen (update from 4.2 was not possible somehow) and now i'm trying to setup my custom reports (Server: HDD Spaces, Server: Erros&Warnigs last 3 days). Unfortunately I can't create those reports or I didnt find the menu for it.

Another question. Sicne I tried to save my old LS 4.2 installation I couldn't use my main SQL Server. Is it possible to migrate the lansweeperdb.sdf to the SQL Server and where are the connection settings for LS to connect to the DB?

best regards
SH

Could you clarify what you mean by this. What happened when you tried to update your existing Lansweeper 4.2 installation to 5.0?

The installation finished and after I tried to open the Website I got the emssage that no SQL connection was possible to the database (tried it 2 times, with backup and Hyper-V Snapshot)

Could you clarify what you mean by this. SQL Server is still supported as a database backend for Lansweeper 5.0.

I couldn't use it since there is still a database called lansweeperdb for Version 4.2

Lansweeperdb.sdf is an SQL Server Compact database file. You cannot migrate SQL Server Compact files to SQL Server.

Sad. So I have to try to upgrade from 4.2 to 5.0 again and hope it will work.

Could you contact us at support@lansweeper.com and provide us with the following:
- Any install logs present in the Program Files (x86)\Lansweeper\Install folder on your Lansweeper server.
- Screenshot of what you see when you try to access the web console. Please show us your entire browser window.

The Lansweeper 5.0 installer will update your existing database, just like with any other update.

Under Dashboard, select All Reports and then hit the New Report button to start building a new report.
