Generating reports

The Platform Analytics reporting server generates Platform Analytics reports and allows other users to view these reports.

The Platform Analytics reporting server runs Tableau Server, which is a ROLAP (Relational Online Analytics Processing) analytic tool for business intelligence that provides browser-based reports. The Platform Analytics reporting server uses Tableau Server to generate the Platform Analytics reports and allows other users to view these reports.

The Platform Analytics reporting server may run on the same host as the Platform Analytics server if that host meets the Tableau Server system requirements.

The Platform Analytics reporting server provides the following default workbooks to allow you to analyze your clusters:


Workbook name

Description

Workload Statistics

Reports information about all jobs in any state that are sampled from all active LSF clusters. This allows you to perform a detailed analysis of current LSF workload at any time period.

Workload Accounting

Reports job information from LSF job finish events. This allows you to perform a detailed analysis of completed LSF jobs in all clusters.

License Usage

Reports on FlexNet Server license usage on any license server or across multiple license servers. This allows you to analyze the usage, consumption, and utilization of licenses by users and hosts.

Hardware

Reports on the hardware utilization at any time period.

Cluster Capacity

Reports the usage of all slots in LSF and the workload being run. This allows you to identify IDLE, DOWN, CLOSED, and RUNNING capacity.

Workload Accounting (Daily) and Hardware (Daily)

Data is aggregated daily to have better performance of the workbooks.

Resource Usage

Helps to dentify wasted memory usage information by comparing required and used memories.


If you want to modify or create a new report, use the Platform Analytics designer.
