Inline reports

Inline reports provide the status of selected custom or external checklists in the form of charts and graphs that assess the available checks in the selected checklist.

Various statuses of a check

Inline reports consist of Checks by category, Check deployment status, and Check compliance status charts and graphs. To generate these charts and graphs, an inline report assesses all the checks and then categorizes the checks into the following statuses:
Deployed
Taking a deployment action on a device. - Deployment on a device.
Success
Deployment on a device, and the action is successfully completed (Fixed).
Failed
Deployment on a device, and the action is unsuccessful (Failed).
Undeployed
Devices on which the deployment has not yet been performed. This does not include failed checks.
These categories help in calculating the deployment percentage, undeployed device count, compliance percentage, and non-compliant device count.
Figure 1. Inline reports


To understand how inline reports works, let us consider the following case:
Table 1. Assumptions for Inline reports calculation
Subscribed devices 12
Applicable devices 10(1)
Deployed devices 8(2)
Undeployed devices 2(3)
Success (Compliant) 5
Failed (Non-compliant) 3
Note:
  1. Two devices out of 12 subscribed devices are not applicable because they did not pass the relevance check.
  2. The deployment to the device must be explicitly done.
  3. The check is not deployed on these two devices.
Deployment percentage
The percentage of devices on which the check was deployed (Success or Failed) out of the total number of subscribed devices (12).

Deployment percentage = Number of devices on which the check was successful or failed divided by the total number of subscribed devices for that check

The number of devices on which the check was successful or failed is obtained from grouped data, such as Actions, Action Results, Computers, and Computer sites.

Deployment percentage = 8/12

Undeployed Devices
The number of devices on which the deployment has not yet been performed. This data is obtained from the Computer Fixlets table for the check with isRelevant=1 and excludes the failed ones from the result.
Compliance Percentage
The percentage of devices on which the check is compliant (success) or non-relevant out of the total number of subscribed devices (12).

When the number of applicable devices is equal to zero and the subscribed count is greater than zero, then the compliance percentage is 100%; otherwise, the compliance percentage is equal to the number of compliant devices (success) divided by the number of subscribed devices.

where,

Number of compliant devices = Subscribed devices - applicable computer count

Compliance percentage = 7/12
Non-compliant Devices
The number of non-compliant devices is equal to the applicable computer count for that check.
