Feature Request: Scheduled Job Report save as other than HTML

When I run a report in the client, I get all sorts of export options - CSV, TXT, HTML, MHTML, XLS, PDF, or any number of image types.  Even when I run a report in the web client, I get export options for CSV and XLS.  However, when I schedule a job to run a report, I only get one option when saving a file - HTML.   That is quite hard to parse with any other tools (yes, sometimes we use something other than NCM to do our work).

This request is to add file type output options when scheduling report jobs.

  • I was tempted to open a case but luckily i looked here first. so i guess a release is not out yet. For us, we need a monthly report to export in just a txt file. I don't want to keep doing this job manually so we need to make it work utilizing report scheduling. Our scripts make it difficult if the output is in html file. Let's make it happen!!

  • Thanks for your valid input. We've known this problem and migration to Orion Platform (Core) reporting subsystem should be the ultimate resolution.

  • Same here! The export feature in the web-frontend can not handle the amount of our devices where the scheduled report is able to provide the data but in a very much undesired format.

    Export to CSV is needed! If possible please implement a "full" report not just a report for each polling engine.

    Thanks!

  • This one just became a priority issue for us, as we are implementing a CMDB for asset management.  I need to provide a daily feed from Orion to the CMDB of the inventory information contained in Orion. Going to the web interface each and every day and exporting reports in XLS or CSV is laughable.  If the ability to save reports to disk isn't expanded to include other file types besides HTML, we will need to try to pull the data directly from the NCM SQL database, not something we want or should have to do.
