Strategic Clarity: Move Beyond Raw Data
As a Service Manager, your primary goal is to maintain service quality and demonstrate value. Technical dashboards, while crucial for your NOC team, often overwhelm non-technical audiences. The Report-Engine solves this with features designed for clarity and business focus:
- Customizable Content Blocks: Forget rigid templates. Our user-friendly interface allows you to build reports using customizable blocks like Host Inventory, Active Problems, Problem History, Graphs, SLA (Service Level Agreement) metrics, and Single Stats (showing Min, Peak, or Average values). This means you control the narrative, focusing only on the metrics that matter most to your audience.
- The Power of Visuals: A picture tells a thousand words. The engine allows for seamless inclusion of meaningful graphs directly from your Zabbix setup, with support for customizable timeframes (Current, Last Day, Week, Month, Year, or custom periods). Visually depicting a rising resource trend or a stable SLA performance is far more impactful than rows of numbers. You can now easily show the evolution of your environment, not just a snapshot.
Custom Client-Ready Styles: Your reports are a reflection of your company’s professionalism. The Report-Engine allows you to add your own logo, select fonts, and customize colors, ensuring every report is consistent, standardized, and fully branded to your organization or your customer’s identity. This level of presentation adds tangible perceived value to your service.
Operational Efficiency: Save Time and Guarantee Consistency
The hours spent manually exporting data, cleaning up screenshots, and formatting documents are hours lost to high-value service management tasks. The CodeHarbor Report-Engine is built for efficiency:
- Automated Scheduling and Delivery: Say goodbye to monthly fire drills. With the Advanced and Professional subscriptions, you can schedule reports to run automatically—daily, weekly, or monthly—and have the rendered PDF delivered straight to your mailbox and to multiple recipients. This guarantees that stakeholders receive consistent, timely updates without any manual intervention from your team.
- No Local Installation Required: The Report-Engine is a SaaS solution hosted on secured servers in Germany. There is no installation or maintenance burden on your local Zabbix platform or infrastructure. You simply connect via the Zabbix API, reducing deployment friction and ensuring high availability.
- Simplified Report Creation: The intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) simplifies the entire process. You connect your Zabbix server, build your report by combining blocks, and define your style—it’s that simple. This ease of use dramatically reduces the time and technical expertise required to produce high-quality business reports.
- For Air-gapped or highly secured environments, the CodeHarbor Report-Engine will soon be available as a local installation software package. subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on the release dates.
Security and Trust: Dedicated and Compliant
We understand that security is paramount, especially when dealing with critical monitoring data.
- Secure Zabbix API Connection: The Report-Engine uses the standard Zabbix API to fetch data. For enhanced security, optional Secure Connect via a VPN tunnel is available, ensuring your Zabbix server does not require a direct HTTPS connection towards the internet.
- Data Security: Our setup foresees a dedicated database per subscription (even for the free version), ensuring your report configuration data is secured and segregated. Furthermore, Zabbix host and alerting data is fetched upon execution and then flushed once the report is created and sent. We only store meta-data, not your raw monitoring results.
The CodeHarbor Report-Engine transforms your Zabbix monitoring data into a strategic business asset. By delivering clear, professional, scheduled, and actionable reports, you save countless hours, enhance customer communication, and ensure that your stakeholders always see the true value of your IT services.
