31.0 Generating a Report in CSV Format

By default, Sentinel generate reports in PDF format. You can also generate reports in CSV format by making additional configurations to the Sentinel server.

To generate a report in CSV format:

  1. Log in to the Sentinel server as novell user.

  2. Change to the /etc/opt/novell/sentinel/config directory:

    cd /etc/opt/novell/sentinel/config/

  3. Open the obj-component.JasperReportingComponent.properties file for editing:

    vi obj-component.JasperReportingComponent.properties

  4. Edit the following entries:

    • reporting.csv.enable=true

    • reporting.csv.outputdir=<the directory where the reports must be stored>

      The novell user must have read/write permissions on the specified directory.

  5. Restart the Sentinel server.

When you generate a report, it is stored in the CSV format in the directory specified in the reporting.csv.outputdir attribute.
