Link directly to custom report

[mcutting]

Hi,

Is it possible (with the latest version of Scrutinizer) to link directly to a saved report via URL ?

Thanks

It is a fairly simple process.

You can link by createing a url to your Scrutinizer server line this:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/index.html?tab=status&popID=[REPORT ID]&nc=1

To get the report id, click on the magnifying glass next to the report name. A box with all the report criteria will pop up. I the header will contain something liek this "Report Name mikeTest6 (ID: 788)". Replace the [REPORT ID] in the URL, with the number listed in the report ID and you will have the correct hyperlink. example below.

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/index.html?tab=st ... D=799&nc=1

Hope this helps!

Perfect - thanks very much..

Thanks for the tip. Works great, but is it possible to pass the username and password as part of the URL so I don't have to login ?

I thought something like

http://server:8080/index.html?tab=statu ... d=password

would work, although (under IE anyway), it keeps asking me to login. Is there another way ?

Thanks

[mkrygeri]

Yes, you can. Simply append &user=[username]&pass=[password] to the end of the URL and you will be authenticated

http: //server:8080/index.html?tab=status&popID=27&nc=1&user=user&pass=password

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Fantastic - works great !!!!

Now - one last question - what if I want to load the report from a link as I'm doing, and also hide the menu pane on the left hand side ? Sounds odd, but there is a method to my madness

Thanks

Actually this is is a reasonable request. I have good news, and bad news.
The bad news is that this is not supported at this time.
The good news is that I spoke to the developer in charge of this code and he has added this feature into the 7.5 code to be released in less than a week.

When this option is available in 7.5, you will only need to add &max=true at the end of the URL and it will hide the left pane in the report.

Fabulous. Thanks
BTW: How easy is it to export all my config (not data). I spent a lot of time prettying up my installation, and I'm very happy with it

You can use MySql Administrator to back up and restore your databases. You can simply leave out the historical databases/tables if you like. everything that is not history related is housed in the "plixer" database. You should also back up your \scrutinizer\files directory as well as any other images you might have customized.
You can restore this to a fresh install if needed.

Hi,

I made a backup of the database through mysqldump because I had to migrate the OS.

I the dump file of all devices into the database through their nave scrut_10_10_10_1 (it's an example)

When I try to access to the old data, i don't succeed. Is there a special way to backup/restore scrutinizer databases ?

Hi Fincle,

We recommend using Robocopy.

The following blog has details:

So restoring through Mysql commands does not work ?

[dalet0]

Hi Fincle,

It should work if you also have a backup of Scrutinizer/mysql/data/plixer.

Are you restoring the backup for viewing only or it is being restored in a production environment?
