Creating Protected Computers Report

To create a Protected Computers report configuration:

1. At the Name step of the wizard, specify the report name and description.

The report name and description will be displayed in reports generated based on this report configuration.

2. At the Companies step of the wizard, specify which companies you want to include in the report:

1. In the Report configuration section, select report configuration:

• To create one report configuration for all companies in the report scope, select Summary report.

With this option selected, the report configuration will include all locations of selected companies.

• To create a separate report configuration for each company in the report scope, select Individual reports.

With this option selected, the wizard will include an additional Locations step.

2. In the Report scope section, select one or more companies for which you want to create the report configuration. Use the search field at the top to find the necessary company.

By choosing companies, you define the scope of the report: only workloads that belong to the chosen companies will appear in the report.

If you select more than one company for Individual reports report type, Veeam Service Provider Console will create a separate report configuration for each selected company. If you select more than one company for Summary report report type, Veeam Service Provider Console will include data on all selected companies in the report.

3. [For summary report] To include in the report all existing companies and all companies that will be created after the report configuration is finished, set the All companies, including newly added toggle to On.
4. To include in the report companies managed by resellers, set the Include companies managed by resellers toggle to On.

3. [For individual reports] At the Locations step of the wizard, select one or more company locations. Use the search field at the top to find the necessary location.

By choosing a location you can limit the scope of the report: only computers that belong to the chosen locations will appear in the report.

4. [For individual reports] At the Access Type step of the wizard, select access type for reports generated for client companies:

• To make the report accessible for service provider, all companies included in the report and resellers managing these companies, select Public.
• To make the report accessible only for service provider who created the report, select Private.

5. At the Parameters step of the wizard, specify parameters for analyzing protected computers:

1. In the RPO section, specify a period for which protected computers must have backup restore points.

RPO defines a period between backup sessions, or, in other words, a period for which you can afford to lose data. For example, if protected computers must have daily backups, specify 1 day or 24 hours as the RPO value.

2. In the Operation mode list, choose what type of Veeam backup agent operation modes must be analyzed in the report (All, Server, Workstation).
3. In the Management mode list, choose what computers must be analyzed in the report (All, Managed by console, Managed by backup server).
4. In the Exclusion mask (names) field, specify a mask for excluding computers from the report scope.

The mask will be evaluated against the computer names. You can use the ‘*’ (asterisk) and ‘?’ (question mark) wildcards in the mask. The ‘*’ (asterisk) character stands for zero or more characters. The ‘?’ (question mark) stands for a single character. For example, if you want to exclude from the report computers with the _support suffix, you can specify a mask with the ‘*_support’ name query.

You can specify more than one mask in the field. Separate multiple masks with commas.

5. [For individual reports] In the Group by list, choose how analyzed data must be grouped in the report (by Backup agent or Backup policy).
6. In the Guest OS list, select guest OS for computers that must be analyzed in the report (Windows, Linux, macOS).

[For summary report] Select the Include detailed information to the report check box to include detailed data on individual companies from the report scope in the report body.

6. At the Schedule step of the wizard, specify a schedule according to which the report must be generated:

1. In the Scheduling options section, select the Generate this report automatically check box to enable scheduling and define report scheduling:

1. To generate the report at specific time daily, on defined week days or with specific periodicity, select the Daily at option. Use the fields on the right to configure the necessary schedule.
2. To generate the report once a month on specific days, select the Monthly at option. Use the fields on the right to configure the necessary schedule.
3. From the Time zone drop-down list, select the time zone in which the daily or monthly schedule must be run.

2. In the Notification options section, provide the email address to which the report must be sent.

You can specify multiple email addresses separated with commas (,) or semicolons. To send a notification to multiple users with a specific role, you can use email variables. For a list of available email variables, click View Help.

To receive the report, the user must configure an email address in the user profile. For details, see Filling User Profile.

7. At the Summary step of the wizard, review the report configuration and click Finish.
