OneSight Administrator Guide

Report Templates Properties File
.template – The appearance type, which corresponds to a
PopChart appearance file. Default appearance files for common
types (bar, line) are provided within OneSight, or you can use a
custom appearance file. This requires assistance from the
OneSight Services Team or a Corda builder license.
.outputType – The output type. Valid output types include FLASH
(the default), PDF, and TABLE (an HTML table).
Editing the Report Templates Properties File
The reportTemplates_en.properties file can be edited manually within
the OneSight properties directory, or it can be edited within the
OneSight console using the
http://hostname:8080/support/ReportTemplateEdit.jsp file. When you
invoke http://hostname:8080/support/ReportTemplateEdit.jsp, it loads in
the properties file. After you make the necessary edits, click the
Save button. Saved changes are effective immediately.
About Custom Report Data Sources
A report data source can be an SQL query, a CSV or XML file, or an
HTML table within an html page. Corda makes it very easy to
import data from csv, html, and xml files. The files must follow the
prototypical table format. Examples are provided within the
PopChart\chart_root\reportTemplates\data subdirectory. In this
scenario, you need to update the file using an external means such
as a scheduled OneSight action).
For an SQL query, you also need to provide the connection
parameters. The samples in the report templates include a report
that connects to the OneSight database and reads alerts. Any
accessible DB cab be used. In fact, the SQL datasource is database
agnostic, so you need to be aware of security issues surrounding
custom reports.
