Opsview - Enable 'Output To Host File System' for scheduled reports

When scheduling a report, the option to ‘Output To Host File System’ is disabled by default. This article explains how to enable the ‘Output To Host File System’ option so you can output the scheduled report file directly on your reports host.

Prerequisites

• None

Process

1. Log in to your reports host as root (usually your orchestrator).
2. Create a backup of /opt/opsview/jasper/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml

cp -p /opt/opsview/jasper/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml{,.bak}

3. In the original applicationContext.xml file from above, change the line

<property name="enableSaveToHostFS" value="false"/>

to

<property name="enableSaveToHostFS" value="true"/>

4. Restart the opsview-reportingmodule component.

/opt/opsview/watchdog/bin/opsview-monit restart opsview-reportingmodule
