Managing assets is not easy when you are running an MSP. You need to keep track of hundreds of assets, the software installed on them, whether they are upgraded and running smoothly, and many other critical details.

SuperOps has made it easier for you to track these details and share them with your collaborators. With our PDF reports, you can generate downloadable PDF reports and share them with your team.

We are introducing PDF reports to help you track the status of your endpoints.

  1. Patch Summary Report

  2. Patch Details Report

  3. Software Inventory Report

  4. Asset Activity Report

  5. Asset Health Summary Report

  6. Executive Summary Report

📝 Note:

Technicians can create PDF reports only for clients they have access to.

How to generate a PDF report

  • To generate a PDF report, go to Modules < Reports. On the left pane, you will find a section called PDF Reports, under which you can select one of the three reports to download.

  • Click on the Create button in the top right corner, and select the client and the site for which you want to generate the chosen report.

  • If you select a particular site along with the client, the report will include details related to that site.

  • When you click the Generate button, you will receive a link to download the report in your email within a few minutes.

Download History

You can access previously downloaded reports at any time. Navigate to Modules > Reports and select one of the PDF report options.

Here, you’ll see a list of PDF reports that have been created by your teammates for specific sites and clients. You can download these PDFs right from this list.

You also have the option to remove these downloaded reports from your history.

Customizing PDF reports:

  1. You can personalize PDF reports to your preferences by clicking on the Customize button, as shown below.

2. Here, you can choose whether you want to show or hide SuperOps.ai's watermark and the client logo.

3. These customizations will be applied across all your future PDF reports.

What do these reports have?

Patch Summary Report

The patch summary report will help you:

  • Keep track of all your unpatched endpoints

  • Get the status of vulnerable endpoints that did not complete the patch deployment

  • Identify assets that will require a reboot and more.

SuperOps.ai's patch management report will include the following:

Patch Management Summary: Get a quick view of all the vital counts regarding the patching status.

Total assets: This will include the number of all the assets from the client you have selected.

  • Fully patched: Number of devices that are fully patched.

  • Install pending: Number of devices with pending patches approved for the next patch window.

  • Reboot pending: Number of devices that have their reboot pending.

  • No policy: Number of devices with no patch management policy applied to them.

  • No data: Number of devices with policies applied but insufficient patch data.

You can then find site-wise information related to your client’s endpoints.

Site Name: This is the site name of the client that you have selected.

  • Platform: This shows whether the platform is a server or a workstation.

  • Total assets: Count of all the assets in this client’s IT environment.

    • Asset Name: This is the designated name of the asset.

    • Patch status: This column will show you whether the patch has been successfully installed or not. For instances where they have not been installed yet, the status will show whether the installation is pending to be carried out in the next patching cycle, or if it will require a reboot for installation. Assets that do not belong to a policy group are also indicated here. You can also see if any asset has encountered errors during the patch installation.

Here is a sample Patch summary report.

Patch Details report

The patch details report will have a drilled-down version of the patch management summary report.

From the Patch Details Report, you can view the following details.

  1. Device name: This is the designated name of the asset

  2. IP: Shows you the IP address of the asset

  3. OS: Tells you what the OS is in this particular asset

  4. Patch status: This is the overall patch status of the asset

    • Patch name: This column shows the name of the patch along with the patch code.

    • Priority: Priority of the patching can be - important, optional, critical or others.

    • Status: This column shows the status of the individual patches. Below you will see the possible status for these patches.

      • Approved: The patch has been approved for the next patch installation.

      • Not approved: The patch has not been approved for installation.

      • Installed: The patch has been successfully installed.

Here is a sample patch details report.

Software inventory report

This report will display important details about the software installed on your client endpoints, for example, the version and the type of software they have. This information will help you decide when to update your devices and avoid potential security risks. The report from SuperOps.ai will include the following details.

Asset Activity Report

This report gives you a chronological timeline of all the activities that have taken place in the assets you manage. This report makes it easier to maintain and track what happens with your assets and plan your asset maintenance activities accordingly.

For the selected client and site, you’ll be able to see the following activities tracked in the report:

  1. When an alert was created (along with the context of the issue) and when it was resolved

  2. When a patch scan was initiated, when a patch was installed through a schedule (or) installed ad-hoc

  3. When a script was triggered to run and when it was executed
