Custom reports

Here are some examples on how you can collect some data from Dell Precision Optimizer clients using its WMI classes and create custom

reports. Dell Precision Optimizer provides a large set of WMI classes to allow an IT administrator to create a huge variety of reports. The

following steps illustrate how to create a Dell Precision Optimizer report. An IT administrator can customize what data must be collected

and know how to present that data.

Create Custom Inventory Rules

From your KACE appliance console:

1. Click Inventory, then select Software.

2. Choose Action and select New.

3. On the Software Details page, enter the following information

• Name -> DPO Sample Inventory

• Version -> v1

• Publisher -> Dell

• Supporting Operating Systems -> Select OSes

• Custom Inventory Rule -> ShellCommandTextReturn(wmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2\DPO Path DPO_Profiles get /ALL)

• Click Save.

4. Click back into the new custom inventory record and hover over the record just created. Note the identifier(ID#) at the end of the

URL. The URL with the ID# is visible at the lower left hand corner of the page. You will need this later for creating the report.

Force Inventory Collection

From your KACE appliance console:

1. Click Inventory and select Devices.

2. Select the device(s) where Dell Precision Optimizer is installed (you could use a SmartLabel for this purpose).

3. Choose Action and select Force Inventory.

4. After the inventory cycle is completed, navigate into one of the selected devices that was online.

5. On the Device Detail page, click Software, expand Custom Inventory Fields. This displays a list of profiles and their current states.

NOTE:

Now that you have Script and Custom Inventory setup, and have completed a Custom Inventory cycle on all

desired systems, it is time to use K1000s reporting capabilities. While you can definitely pull the Dell Precision Optimizer

information out of the K1000 using a Wizard based report, we are going to use a custom SQL report to process and filter

our information into a useful report.
