Running a Report

You can run reports for your CA CloudMinder environment. Generally, reports show either system status at a certain point, or system activity over a time period. For example, the Role Owners Report provides a current list of users who are role owners for each role in the system. The Audit-Reset Password Report shows password reset activity over a period you specify. CA CloudMinder includes many preconfigured reports that are designed to address common reporting needs.

Reports are used by various users. For example, a tenant administrator can run reports to gain information about the state of their environment and the activities of their users. A system administrator can run reports to facilitate configuration or maintenance tasks for a tenant environment. The following instructions use a tenant administrator as the example user, but any user with reporting privileges can follow the steps to generate and view reports.

Each report requires initial configuration before you can run it. Typically, your system administrator, or another user with report administration privileges, performs that configuration. Once initial configuration is complete, you can run the report.

Running a report is a two-step process unless the report can be run in 15 seconds. In that case, you use one task to request and view the report. Otherwise, when you request a report, the system gathers and processes the required data. After you request a report, you can view it.
