Available reports
We have included a set of generic reports that you can reconfigure for your environment based on Centreon concepts (e.g., business activities, host groups and categories, service categories, metrics).
You can have a look at our Reports book to find the report you need before consulting this report guide.
Most of these reports have been designed to be perfectly rendered in PDF. The space reserved for object names (host, services, groups, categories) in tables or graph legends may sometimes be limited, so please remember to define object names accordingly.

To incorporate your own logos into reports (when adequate space is provided), upload them to Centreon MBI using the interface. All images, regardless of their size, must have a 4:4 ratio to fit perfectly into the image areas.
Business Activity Monitoring
BV-BA-Availabilities-1
Description
This report displays statistics about application availability and events for a business view. It is generated using the default reporting time period for each business activity configured in the Centreon BAM module.

If the SLAs are not defined in the BA configuration, values are displayed in cells if availability is below 100% or if unavailability > 0 seconds. The time period that applies is the "Default reporting period" selected for each business activity.
The third calendar displays availability for each business activity by day. Cells are colored according to time frames (in minutes) of unavailability, configured for the report. If unavailability is below 100%, availability is displayed for that day.

Prerequisites
This report is developed for full compatibility with the Monitoring Connector Virt-VMware2-ESX and the Centreon-VMWare-2.0 connector. The following prerequisites for the proper generation of the report shall apply.
Implement monitoring of the following indicators:
- CPU service, a memory service and a VM Count service for each ESX.
- Datastore-usage service for each datastore, or for all datastores, linked to the vCenter or to only one ESX of the cluster. By default, the service will have the following nomenclature: Datastore-Usage-xxxx (xxxx is the datastore name).
- Datastore-IOPS service for each datastore or for all datastores, linked to the vCenter or to only on ESX of the cluster. By default, the service will have the following nomenclature: Datastore-Iops-xxxx (xxxx is the datastore name).
Create host groups that correspond to the clusters. A cluster (host group) contains:
- Several ESXs (hosts).
- The vCenter, only if Datastore-usage and Datastore-IOPS services are linked to the vCenter and not to one cluster's ESX.
Create at least one host category containing the whole cluster (vCenter + ESXs). If there are multiple ESX clusters, you can split them into several host categories to filter the report on a single cluster.
Create the following service categories:
- CPU-ESX: combines all CPU indicators on ESXs.
- Memory-ESX: combines all memory indicators on ESXs.
- VMcount-ESX: combines all VM Count indicators on ESXs.
- Datastore-usage: combines all datastore usage indicators.
- Datastore-IOPS: combines all datastore IOPS indicators.
If a datastore or an ESX host name contains more than 16 characters, only the first 16 will be shown, supplemented by 3 dots.

Report translation
Centreon MBI can generate reports in two languages: English and French. Other target languages are possible if you create the appropriate translation files.
Translation files require a .properties extension. They are stored in the /usr/share/centreon-bi/Resources/translation directory and classified by type in subdirectories.
The English-language files are named xxx.properties and the French, xxx_fr_FR.properties.
If you need to generate reports in a language other than English or French, you should make a copy of all xxx.properties, giving the files a suffix corresponding to the locale of your target language.
For example, a German translation requires the file with the suffix xxx_de_DE.properties; for a Spanish translation it would be xxx_es_ES.properties.
Then, translate all the English content in these new files into the appropriate target language.
Even if you want to translate only a few reports, you must still translate the global translation files using the method described above. These files are:
- units.properties
- calendar.properties
- common.properties
- master-page.properties
Then translate the file or files for the report family you require.
These files are stored in
/usr/share/centreon-bi/Resources/translation/component/.
When the new xxx.properties files have been translated, go to your Centreon MBI interface, edit a job, and then click the refresh button next to the language selection. The new language should appear in the list.
Select the desired language and generate the report.
Warning
Because certain languages are more verbose than others, translated text strings that are excessively long may affect the formatting (design) of the report.
