Reports

You can generate a report with information about the servers added to the platform. The report is exported in csv format.

The platform generates the following types of reports:

  • Basic Systems Report — basic information about the server;
  • Firmware Report — information about BIOS and BMC firmware;
  • Hardware Inventory Report — information about components. 

    The platform stores only the last generated report of each type. If you create a report again, the previous report will be deleted.
