This page explains the inner workings of the reports module, as well as the available options in the report builder, including how to create and modify reports.
Lansweeper Cloud includes a new, intuitive reporting engine. All reports can be found in the Reports module of Lansweeper Cloud and are split up into 4 main categories: Hardware, Security, Software, and Users.
By selecting one of these categories, you can view the reports in that specific category.
While there are built-in reports, you can modify or create your own as well using the report builder. Lansweeper Cloud uses MongoDB to store your data and leverages GraphQL to query your data.
Reports may take a long time to run if your organization has a large number of assets or many users accessing reports simultaneously. To ensure the health, scalability, speed, and availability of the reporting service, you can run and schedule your reports according to your needs.
Instead of constantly accessing the data in real-time, the execution of reports can be ad-hoc or at a scheduled time. You can track the status of your reports in the Report > Status column.
There are four different report states: scheduled, non-scheduled, queued, and errored.
This indicates the report is scheduled to run at a user-configured interval. The scheduling information is shown when hovering over the report status icon.
A non-scheduled report will not run automatically and can be run ad-hoc by selecting Run report now.
When a report is triggered, either through its schedule or ad-hoc, it is added to the report queue that is running in the background. Queued reports are indicated as below.
When a report is not executed properly, an error icon will appear. This indicates the report was not run successfully. This can be resolved by running the report again using the Run report now button.
You can run any report in real-time with the click of a button.
You can schedule your reports to run at a certain day and time or at a given interval.
The report builder allows you to visually build or modify your own reports. For a complete overview of the report builder menu, check out Introduction to the Cloud report builder.
