Generating an audit report of server inventory

You can generate an audit report that shows all of the servers and runtimes in your inventory in comma-separated value (CSV) format.

Before you begin

You must have a user profile with the View inventory permission or the Manage inventory permission. For more information, see Configuring roles and permissions.

Procedure

  1. Log in to WebSphere Automation.
    For more information, see Accessing the WebSphere Automation UI.
  2. If necessary, open the Server management page, as shown in the following image.

    If you do not see a listing of servers, either no servers are registered, or you have insufficient permissions. For instructions on registering servers, see Registering a server. For more information about permissions, see Roles and permissions.
  3. Click Download audit report.
    In the system dialog that opens, you can open or save the audit report to your local computer.
  4. Open the audit report by using a program capable of viewing CSV files, such as a spreadsheet editor.
    The data looks similar to the following image:
