Managing OpenSearch Reporting
OpenSearch Reporting Introduction
The OpenSearch Reporting feature lets you generate and schedule reports for dashboards, visualisations and saved searches and output them to CSV, png and pdf. You can create reports from Discovery, Visualise, or Dashboard views.
In addition, you can also create reports using Report definitions and schedule these to be generated automatically at periodic intervals.
To use and generate new reports, you must have at least the
stack_user OpenSearch Security role.
Scheduling a CSV report based on a saved search
On-demand Reports
On-demand reports let you quickly generate a report from the current view. From Discovery, Visualise, or Dashboard views choose Reporting from the top menu.
For dashboards or visualisations choose Download PDF or Download PNG. From the Discover view, save your search and then choose Download CSV. Depending on the size of the report, it might take a few minutes but the reports generate asynchronously and you will see a notification when your report is ready.
Using a saved search from the Discover view to generate a CSV report on demand.
When using a data table or visualisation to generate a png or pdf report, it's important to set the Max rows per page option to ensure that the generated report includes all the required data.
Report Definitions
Report definitions allow you to generate reports on a pre-defined schedule. To create a new report definition choose Reporting from the left menu in OpenSearch. If you can't see this option you may need to speak to your account Administrator, to find out who this is choose Help and Support from your Logit.io dashboard.
Choose Create to generate a new reporting definition
Enter a name and optional description for your report, choose the report source which can be an existing dashboard, visualisation or saved search and then specify a time range for the required data.
If you choose to schedule your report, you can either select recurring or cron based on your requirements. Using Cron (opens in a new tab) expressions gives you more flexibility about when exactly to generate the report.
Choose create to save the report definition.
Depending on how you have configured your report definition, the report will be created in the Reports window. You can then choose the link under the generate column to download the CSV, png or pdf report.
