PDF Reports
The PDF Reports feature generates PDF exports of any AxonOps dashboard for a selected time range. Reports can be produced on demand or on a recurring cron schedule.
The feature is accessible via Operations > PDF Reports.
The page is divided into two tabs:
- Schedules — configure and trigger report generation.
- Reports — view and download previously generated reports.
Generating a report
Section titled “Generating a report”Select a dashboard
Section titled “Select a dashboard”The Select Dashboard field determines which dashboard is rendered into the PDF. The built-in Reporting dashboard is selected by default and covers system resource utilisation and coordinator performance metrics suited to capacity planning and operational review.
Any custom dashboard can be selected in place of the default. To report on a specific subset of metrics, create a dashboard with the required panels and select it here.
Set the time range
Section titled “Set the time range”Click the Time Range field to open the date and time picker. Select a start and end date and time, then click Apply Changes.
For a cron-scheduled report, the Report Range field replaces the fixed time range picker with relative options such as Last 14 Days, so each scheduled run covers the period up to the time of execution.
Apply filters
Section titled “Apply filters”The filter row scopes the dashboard data included in the report.
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Center | Limit results to one or more data centers. |
| Rack | Limit results to one or more racks. |
| Node | Limit results to specific nodes. |
| Percentile | Select the percentile for latency metrics (default: 99th). |
| GroupBy | Aggregate results by dc, rack, or node. |
| Mount Point | Filter disk metrics by mount point. |
| Partition | Filter disk metrics by partition. |
| Consistency | Filter coordinator metrics by consistency level. |
Leaving a filter empty includes all values for that dimension.
Include alerts
Section titled “Include alerts”Check Include Alerts to append the active alert state to the report alongside the dashboard panels.
The optional Tag field labels the report for identification in the Reports tab and the schedule list.
On-demand reports
Section titled “On-demand reports”Select Immediate, configure the options above, then click CREATE PDF REPORT. The report is generated immediately and appears in the Reports tab.
Click PREVIEW to render the report in the browser before saving it.
Scheduled reports
Section titled “Scheduled reports”Select Cron Schedule to configure a recurring report.
The cron schedule dialog provides a visual builder for the cron expression with fields for:
- Minute (0–59)
- Hour (0–23)
- Day of the month (1–31)
- Month (1–12)
- Day of the week (0–6, Sunday = 0 or 7)
The dialog shows the next scheduled run time in the configured timezone. Click CREATE SCHEDULE to save.
