  • 1.  HPE IMC 7.3 - help with report

    Posted Apr 28, 2021 03:56 AM

    I am new to IMC and would appreciate help in creating a report. I want to find for example all Aruba 2930 switches in our estate -  with following details.  Model , Location, Serial Number, IP and Software Version in xls format

    What is the best way to acheive this?

    Hello,

    Open up Report > Report Template List and check out the Device Asset Report v2 or the Concise version of this report template. It should include all the data you are looking for.

    You will be prompted to select the Custom View you would like to run it on, so you could easily put your 2930 switches into a separate Custom View and run it there. Once the report opens, you can use the Export button in the top-left corner to export it to XLS or a variety of other formats.

    Hi @jguse, to add to this question, how could I export a report on information that is not in the "Device Asset Report v2" template such as the product number of fan trays? This information is present when looking at individual switches Network Asset details for the chassis, but how could I get this included in a device report?
    I have made a custom report but the Data Fields available to use in the report are limited and don't have deeper details about network assets like Fan Trays.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    If you want to make real custom reports, you would need to make use of the iAR module of iMC, which is sold separately. That allows you to create new report templates for use on the template list - however it's fairly complex and not as straightforward as the limited 'custom templates' interface.

    Personally I would use the REST API with Python to retrieve the information I need from iMC instead. It's easier than advanced reporting, especially if you make use of the existing library at https://github.com/aruba/PYHPEIMC

    Thanks very much Justin, I will expand on my Python abilities and explore the API more :)
