Creating an Inventory Report of Managed Resources

Create a report showing detailed information about your inventory of managed resources in a single cloud or across all clouds.

About Inventory Reports

Inventory reports give you detailed information about your inventory of managed resources (resources managed by Aviatrix Controller) in a single cloud or across all clouds in your multicloud network.

You can quickly create reports that show on which cloud, region, and VPC/VNet specific managed resources are running.

You can add columns to the report for different properties associated with resource types.

You can apply complex filters to customize the data that gets included in the report for each resource type.

Creating an Inventory Report

Create a report showing inventory of managed resources (resources managed by Aviatrix Controller) in a single cloud or across all clouds in your multicloud network.

You can create a custom report by answering questions that guide you to include only those managed resources you want in your report. You can apply complex filters to further narrow down the contents of the report.

To create an inventory report:

  1. Go to Administration > Reports.

  2. For Inventory Report, click Start.

  3. In Select the cloud(s), CoPilot shows icons for the clouds in which you have managed resources. Select one of the following:

    • (Multicloud) If the report is to include managed resources that span across all of your clouds, click All clouds.

    • If the report is to include managed resources for a single cloud, click the icon of the applicable cloud provider.

  4. In Select the region(s), CoPilot shows the regions in which you have managed resources for the cloud(s) you specified in the previous step. Select each region that includes managed resources you want to include in your report. If the types of managed resources to include are within all regions, click Select All.

  5. In Select the VPC(s), CoPilot shows all the VPC/VNets in which you have managed resources for the region(s) you specified in the previous step. Select each VPC/VNet that includes managed resources to include in your report. If the types of managed resources to include are within all VPC/VNets, click Select All.

  6. In Select resource type(s), select the resource type icons to specify the resource types to include in the report.

  7. In Select the properties, CoPilot shows various properties that are associated with the resource types you specified in the previous step. Select a property to include it as a column in the report. The report preview pane automatically includes the name property of the managed resource and its cloud, region, and VPC/VNet properties (you can deselect them to remove them from the report). You can use the Search box to locate a property associated with data to include in the report. For example, for the gateway resource type, typing size in the search box returns a result vpc_size. By including vpc_size in the report, you can view what size instance each of those gateways are currently running on (the vpc_size property signifies the size of gateways). As another example, typing trans in the search box returns properties that include transit in the name, such as transit_vpc. By including the transit_vpc property in the report, you can view which of those gateways are transit gateways.

  8. In Add filters, you can optionally use filters to narrow down the managed resources to include in your report. For any property, you can set a filter using the property’s value (TIP: When you include a property in the report, the value of it is listed in its associated report column). For example, if you have hundreds of gateways in your environment and want to narrow down the contents of the report to only transit gateways, add a filter with the rule to show only transit gateways (click ADD FILTERS, click ADD RULE, and then set field gateway.transit.vpc with the filter operator == set to value yes and click APPLY FILTERS). If you add a filter on a property you did not previously select to be included (displayed) in the report, the filter is applied but the property is not added to the report. In this case, it may be helpful to take note of your applied filter for future reference. NOTE: Currently, filters cannot be saved.

  9. (Optional) Save, download, or print the report. For printing, select the paper size and page orientation.

  10. (Optional) To generate another report, clear filters (click CLEAR FILTERS if you created filters) and deselect any criteria that does not apply to your next report. Deselect the properties, deselect the resource types, deselect the VPCs/VNets, deselect the regions, and deselect the clouds as needed to report only on the data you want.
