"I like the new reporting feature within Foglight, and I'm pretty happy with the generated reports. However, I'd like to replace the Quest Software logo with my own corporate logo. How do I do that?"
This can be done in a couple of ways, depending upon your specific needs.
- I want to edit an existing, out-of-the-box report. Let's take the Rolling CPU Utilization report.
I generate a PDF of this report.
To edit the image on the top left of the report, we need to edit this. First step is to click on Configuration and then Definitions on the left-hand drawer. In the content page, expand Reports and click on Canned Reports. From the list of Views in the lower left-hand pane, select CPU Utilization (Rolling N Month Summary).
Scroll down on the right-hand pane for the CPU Utilization (Rolling N Month Summary) view and click on the hyperlink for the embedded view Header: Logo, Title, Time Range. This will open it up this view.
Next step is to upload the image you wish to use for your reports. Return to the lower left-hand pane and select the Files tab. Press the Add button and upload the image you wish to use.
...we're almost there. Just a little more, I promise.
Let's return our attention to the Header: Logo, Title, Time Range view. Press the Edit button and select the Configuration tab.
Select the drop-down icon next to the Value for the row Left Image. Select the Image Reference link. In the pop-up window, locate the image you just uploaded. It should be under Reports --> Canned Reports.
Save this change and the Header: Logo, Title, Time Range view. Now select the tab showing CPU Utilization (Rolling N Month Summary) and press the Test PDF button. You should see your new report with the image you recently uploaded.
Repeat as desired for other views. Note that most of the reports share 1 or 2 header views. These can all be edited directly by expanding Foglight --> Reporting in the upper left-hand content pane of the Definitions view.
- I want to create an ad-hoc report.
- Upload the image(s) you wish to use, as detailed above.
- Expand the right-hand drawer and select 'Create report....'
- Select 'Customize header....'
- From the drop-down selector for the left image, navigate to the previously uploaded image you wish to use and press the OK button
- Drag and drop views or data onto your report. Add text where you desire.
- Test the report by selecting Create PDF from the list of actions.
Let me know if you have any questions or problems.
