Reporting Groups

From Reporting Groups, groups within the same organization can be created and preconfigured using different criteria to meet the needs of the departments, branches, or user groups that comprise them.

It is also possible to know which users and which roles have access to the reporting group. As well as activating remote assistance functionalities.

Creating reporting groups​

To create a reporting group, press the New button and fill in the following fields:

  • Tenant: it is a dropdown, to select the tenant in which the new reporting group will be created.
  • Name: name that the reporting group will have.
  • Environment: opens a dropdown to select the environment in which the reporting group will be.
  • Destination of the Patch Policy: opens a dropdown to select which patch policy the reporting group will be subject to.
  • Fishing pattern: it is an optional field. Allows indicating the regular expression (RegEx) that will be used to add devices to the reporting group. For example: company (includes all devices whose names contain the word "company") or .*2023$ (includes devices whose name ends in "2023").

Once the reporting group has been created, it will appear in the table of the list view. The Reload button is very helpful if you want to refresh the list to ensure the reporting group has been created.

Fishing pattern​

The fishing pattern allows automatically grouping in a reporting group the devices that share a regular expression (RegEx) in the name.

The devices that form the reporting group will be updated every hour. It is an automatic process that checks if there are new devices matching the configured RegEx. If there are, the devices will be moved to the corresponding reporting group.

It is important to pay attention to all the active RegEx to avoid conflicts between reporting groups, as it may happen that when creating a new one, its RegEx matches an existing one.

List of reporting groups​

The list view displays a table whose fields match the data requested to create the reporting group. It also presents the Action field, which allows access to View Detail and Agent Configuration.

View Detail​

The detail view allows consulting three types of information about the selected reporting group:

This tab offers general information about the reporting group being consulted. The Edit button opens a form that allows you to change the initial characteristics of the group, such as the name or the destination of the patch policy.

This tab displays a table with the list of roles that can access the reporting group being consulted. In turn, this table also has the Action-> View Detail field, which allows consulting more specific information about the roles: details, permissions, and users.
