CableSolve Reporting and Scripting
A major strength of any database is its ability to be able to accurately report on its contents.
CableSolve has a rich custom reporting engine built into the application. Once a report is produced it can be scheduled for use on a web based dashboard or exported to another system (via XML or CSV).
With support for a fully automated Scheduled Reports, any report created can be setup to periodically email reports to specified users or managers, or to save the results to a file.
With User configurable historical data reporting on any data contain within the database, our customers are able to produce a wide variety of reports to suit their business needs.
Some of the reports that are currently utilised are:
- Equipment within a Store Room, including its initial purchase price and its current depreciated value
- Current capacity of patch panels within the data centre
- Current switch port capacity within the data centre
- Historical power utilisation of an entire data centre, or a single rack of equipment
- Growth of servers capacity within a data centre (by utilising Historical Reporting)
- Number of user moves of workstations/equipment for a particular functional group within an organisation
Historical Reporting
A new feature introduced in R6.1 is Historical Reporting.
This feature allows you to generate reports on historical data of specific equipment or spaces, allowing you to see and compare changes over time.
Historical reports operate by saving attribute data independently of the reports. This gives the benefit that the attribute data is saved once, rather than for each report, and that it's saved for everything within that equipment’s hierarchy, allowing the ability to drill-down, to find specific pieces of information.
Historical reporting allows the storing of attribute values over different time ranges, from months, weeks, days, right through to minutes. With close integration with SNMP and WMI scripting capabilities, users are able to report on short and long term trends in power, temperature, weight, network & server performance and other configurable attributes.
 |
The storage of historical data is hierarchical in nature, which allows you to drill down from a facility level, through data centres, to racks, and finally equipment, to identify performance bottlenecks and resource hogs.
Once the data has been captured, it can then be reported on in a bar chart, or line chart formats, or exported to be utilised in any other analysis packages that may be in use.

Scripting
Scripting allows you to manipulate attributes of a component. In large data centres, network administrators can create script anytime to update, read information, and generate alerts which can be run at any time or event. This can prevent common operations mistakes by simplifying and validating configurations and also automating event.
By utilising the SNMP module, CableSolve can be used to collect, control, and update information of any SNMP enabled devices.
In WMI, it can be used to gather and monitor information from any devices running on Windows. Objects managed within WMI are by definition locally and remotely available to applications and scripts.
Scripts can be develop so that they can query, make local or remote connections to any WMI resources, and configure, monitor, and implement WMI events. Some examples of what scripting is currently used for by our customers are:
- Reading and recording live power information from devices (switches, servers, IP Power rails)
- Automatically scanning and updating an entire Data Centre with correct Make, Model and Serial numbers of devices
- Reporting on the number of pages printed within an organisation
- Reporting on last login times for workstations within an organisation
- Automatically logging out IP desk phones in an organisation at a specified time (ie, at 11:00pm at night) to conserve power
What are the Business Benefits?
CableSolve has many benefits for an organisation to be able to:
- Create simple or complex reports on their entire infrastructure
- Capacity plan their Data Centres (for space - both horizontal and vertical, power, free patch ports etc)
- Plan upcoming moves of either small amounts of equipment, or entire buildings
- Historical report on any attribute within the database
- Know what equipment has been deployed in their organisation year-on-year
