Business Process Inventory Data Export

Although WOCU-Monitoring offers a multitude of functions for the data management, metrics, charts, etc., at some pointmay require the use of other external tools to address suchinformation. To do this, the export function is integrated, which makes it easy to download inventory data to a file to diskhard, for further treatment or use.

The two buttons next to the Search bar, CSV and JSON, facilitate the export of data in both formats:

CSV

Clicking on the respective button will open a new modal for the selection and marking of parameters to export based on the user’s criteria. The available options are:

  • Host Name (Mandatory)

  • Host Display Name (Mandatory)

  • Host Address (Mandatory

  • Realm Name (Mandatory)

  • Type

  • Business Impact

  • State

  • Last Hard State change

  • Output

  • Business Rule

Once the selection is confirmed, the download of a file in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format begins. This format is very simple, organizing columns with a separator (semicolon ‘;’) and rows with a line break.

JSON

This option follows the same process as the previous case but initiates the download of a file in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. JSON is a lightweight data interchange format that can be read by any programming language, making it suitable for exchanging information between different technologies.

In both options, the system will provide the option to select the directory to download and store the generated inventory file and assign an alternative name to it.
