Integration - Embedded Reporting

The Turbonomic platform includes an Embedded Reporting component that you can choose to enable when you install the platform. Embedded Reporting stores a history of your managed environment and then presents selective snapshots of this history with a set of standard dashboards and reports.

Embedded Reporting runs as its own component, as part of the Turbonomic platform. This architecture enhances performance and reduces storage requirements. You can create your own dashboards and reports to focus on other areas of concern.

Dashboards and charts in Turbonomic Embedded Reporting are powered by the Grafana observability platform. With Grafana, it's easy to navigate the existing dashboards, and to make your own charts and dashboards with no coding required. You can also create custom reports via SQL queries against the Embedded Reporting database.

To compose custom reports, open the user interface, navigate to the Reports view, and then explore the Timescale database. From there, you can assemble queries to populate your custom reports. To help you build these queries, this documentation describes the schema tables, and provides some sample queries against them.

The Embedded Reporting feature uses a TimescaleDB service to manage the reporting data. The default installation of Turbonomic includes its own installation of TimescaleDB. This documentation also includes instructions to deploy an external TimescaleDB service. You can use this as an alternative to the default deployment.
