Single Business View Report (Possible feature request)

[grayknighty]

Hi all,

I wondered if the following is possible—and if not, whether it could be raised as a feature request.
We have a Business View group (a custom attribute from VMware) that represents the Service of each VM. I would like a report that shows Service X and all the VMs included in that service, then Service Y, and so on, all within the same report.

The report technically exists, but currently you must:
1. Run the Infrastructure Overview report.
2. Choose Service as the Business View category.
3. Run the report and go to the Virtual Machines page.
4. Use the pie chart grouped by Service and click the details hyperlink to reach the view I actually need.

Is there any way to have that specific report at the top level, without needing to go through the Infrastructure Overview Report?

Another question: is it possible to have that same pie chart on an interactive dashboard, showing top-level services and their VMs?

Context, Our senior leaders would like a simple report that shows all the services hosted in our VMware instance. They are not interested in low-level details within VeeamOne or our infrastructure, just a clear, service-level summary.

If this was possible in VeeamOne it would certainly make our renewal order easy as they would have value from the product too.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Gray,
So in Veeam ONE v13, we have made a great leap forward in terms of Veeam reports, but this particular one for VMware is still on Microsoft SSRS and the flexibility is close to zero.

If you can share here the exact columns you are looking for, even in CSV format, we can perhaps craft some unsupported script that produces and HTML out of our API or DB, and you can automate that and send it, meanwhile something better comes.

As for your question, with Report Builder you should be able to take some parts of the report, but again, perhaps with some scripting we can do this.

Thank you, keep us posted.
