The ProVision Reporting tab provides reports for IPAM, Peering, DNS, Users, and Resources for admin users.

Info

Non-admin users accessing the Reporting tab will be directed to Reporting v1, where they can view and generate IPAM, User Activity, and Customer List reports applicable to that user's permission level. 

Both this page (Reporting) and Working with Reports covers the admin-level Reporting v2 system. Non-admin users should refer to the  Reporting v1 documentation.

To view reports for ProVision modules (IPAM, Peering, DNS, Users, and Resources), click on the applicable sub-tab button at the top of the page, or select it from the Reporting Tab dropdown menu.

Reporting Overview

Reporting v2, accessible to admin users from the IPAM tab, contains reports for five ProVision modules - IPAM, Peering, DNS, Users, and Resources. Default Default reports are available for each module sub-tab, and users may create their own customized report based from the existing templates. Once created, reports may be exported on-demand, or have exports scheduled to be sent to a user at regular intervals. 

Reporting Features

  • Ten default system reports for IPAM, Peering, DNS, Users, and Resources
  • Customizable user-created reports
  • IPAM Utilization and Peering Status charts
  • Export reports to .csv and/or pdf
  • Schedule reports to be emailed at selected intervals
  • Safely view existing reports and apply filters without overwriting saved report settings, or chose to permanently save changes.
  • Copy existing reports to use as editable templates
  • IPAM reports include integration with IPAM Metacolumn metacolumn data and IPAM Column settings

Report Permissions, Ownership, and Coordination

In Reporting v2, any admin user may view, manage, and edit any individual report. Default reports will display with "System" as the owner, and may be viewed, edited, and copied, but are not deletable. User-created reports will display with the creator's username in the owner field, and are able viewed, deleted, edited and copied. Report "ownership", as a concept, only extends to displaying the creator of the report - there are no report actions that are "locked" to any specific user or access restrictions in place per report, outside of the normal viewing permissions. 

Although it is possible to edit and save both default reports and reports created by other users, it is recommended to either coordinate the changes with the report's owner, or create a new copy of the existing report to use for modifications. 

Info
titleReport Editing Etiquette

You may view existing reports at any time, including freely adjusting and applying filters on a temporary basis (by selecting filters → clicking Apply) as well as immediately export those results, without overwriting the existing report filter settings. 

However, saving new filter settings to an existing report (by applying the new filters -> Gear Icon → Save) permanently overwrites the report's default filter settings.

Before saving changes to an existing report, it is recommended to perform some basic due diligence:

  • If you are not the report's owner, confirm the report edit with the report owner prior to saving
  • If there is a user listed as receiving scheduled exports of that report under Schedule Report Settings, verify that the report change will not negatively impact the planned use of the scheduled report(s).

Best Practices:

  • Use the report Copy function whenever you are unsure of ownership or scheduled report repercussions
  • If you only need a one-time export, temporarily adjust the filters on a default or existing report, and use the "Export to .csv/pdf" button
  • Use the report's description field to communicate details, status, and restrictions to other users (such as "Do not edit - Report used for monthly status comparisons by Bob")
