reporting trouble

hi All,

 

I trust this email finds you well.

 

Situation

i want a report showing all incidents in a period of time where i can specify in a filter the it owner.

The "IT owner" is a reference field in the business application form.

We use the "configuration item" field in the incident form to select the ci (could be a business application or a server, switch, etc).

The idea is for the report is to select the "it owner" and to show a list of incidents where the CI has the it owner configured in the business application form (without having duplicate records).

 

Issue 

the issues i am facing are:

1 - when using a simple report (incident table) i can only show incidents where the CI is a business application.

2 - when using a database view (incident, business application, cmdb_rel_ci) the report shows duplicate records because i am using the "relationship" table.

 

is there a better way of doing it without having this issues?

i have access to analytics. could i use it to get this report?

 

regards.

Hi @El Cuchi 

I don’t think you need a database view — you can do it easily using the incident table only.
Try something like this.

hi Atul,

 

thanks for your response.

i know i can do it witha report inspecting one table only, but then i will miss all incidents where the CI is not a business application.

Hi @El Cuchi 

Do you have the IT owner field in the CI class as well, or only in BA?
