Syncing with the Report Server

Using AccelOps Visual Analytics involves first syncing reports contained in the primary AccelOps application to the AccelOps Report Server.

  1. Log in to your Supervisor node.
  2. Go to Analytics > Reports > Synced Reports.
  3. Select a report.

Currently only reports that contain a Group By condition can be synced. Both system and user-created reports can be synched as long as the contain a Group By condition.

  1. Select Sync.

When the sync process initiates, the Supervisor node dynamically creates a table within the Report Server reportdb database. When the sync is established, it will run every five minutes, and the last five minutes of data in the synced report will be pushed to the corresponding table. This lets you run Visual Analytics on event data stored in the Report Server reportdb database.
