Choosing the selection mechanism for scheduled reports
For scheduled reports your schedule must contain a property named sources, with one of the following values: "everything", "node_regexp", "node_group", "nodes", "node_list", "node_intf_list" or , "node_intf_type_list", or "business_services" (in 3.0.14 an newer). Those mechanisms are described below.
...
The "type" will be used to group all nodes and interfaces with the same type value into a group for summary reporting.
Nodes and Interfaces that are part of an opCharts Business Service
If you have opReports version 3.0.14 and newer and opCharts is installed on the same system, then you can make use of Business Services to declare nodes and interfaces for reporting.
In the GUI you will be presented with a list of known Business Service names, which supports multiple selections.
When using opreports-cli, the parameter is called business_services and you need to pass in each business service name separately, e.g. opreports-cli.pl type=health business_services=first_service business_services=second_service.
In a report schedule file, the property is called business_services and its value must be a list of business service names.
Business service memberships are expanded at report creation time.
