Templates

A report template contains the base configuration to generate a report. This is where you define which type of report you want, and the configuration associated to the type. Once a template has been created, it can be ran against a target (a cluster, a cloud provider) over a selected date range.

By default, each organization comes with a set of default templates, configured to contain all sections of the report type.

A template can be used by multiple schedules.

You need to either have the owner, admin or user role in the organization to be able to manage report templates.

Create a template

To create a report template, you first need to be logged in Kubewise, select the reports section from the left menu, then select the templates tab.

Templates’ section Templates’ section

Click on the create template button, a dialog window will appear and prompt for a name:

Create template - name Create template - name

Click on next, select the type of report you want and configure its content:

Create template - configuration Create template - configuration

Once you’re done, just click on create and you will be all set!

Run a template

Note that this is not the recommended way of generating a report on demand since you’ll be asked to select the target and the date range each time.

The best way of generating a report on demand is to run a schedule.

To run a template, just click on the play icon on the right of the template that you want to run:

Run template Run template

According to the type of report that you want to run you’ll be asked to select the target (in this exemple we are running a cluster security report, so we are asked to select the cluster):

Run template - target Run template - target

In the next step, you will be asked to enter the report name, and the timezone you want to have dates in the report:

Run template - name Run template - name

Then you are going to be asked to select the data date you want to analyze:

Run template - data window Run template - data window

Once you hit run, the request will be sent to Kubewise which will start generating your report. You will see the report appearing under the reports tab after a few minutes.
