⁠5.4. Installing and Configuring Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports

Prerequisites:

Section 5.3, “Installing and Configuring the History Database”

Summary

Use of reports is optional. To use the reporting capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, you must install and configure rhevm-reports.

⁠

Procedure 5.2. Installing and Configuring Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports

Install the rhevm-reports package. This package must be installed on the system on which the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is installed.
```
# yum install rhevm-reports
```
Run the rhevm-reports-setup command on the system hosting the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager:
```
# rhevm-reports-setup
```
For the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports installation to take effect, the ovirt-engine service must be restarted. The rhevm-reports-setup command prompts you:
```
In order to proceed the installer must stop the ovirt-engine service
Would you like to stop the ovirt-engine service? (yes|no):
```
Type yes and then press Enter to proceed. The command then performs a number of actions before prompting you to set the password for the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports administrative users (rhevm-admin and superuser). Note that the reports system maintains its own set of credentials which are separate to those used for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
```
Please choose a password for the reports admin user(s) (rhevm-admin and superuser):
```
You will be prompted to enter the password a second time to confirm it.

Result

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports has been installed successfully. Access Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports at http://[demo.redhat.com]/rhevm-reports, replacing [demo.redhat.com] with the fully-qualified domain name of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. If during Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager installation you selected a non-default HTTP port then append :[port] to the URL, replacing [port] with the port that you chose.

Use the user name rhevm-admin and the password you set during reports installation to log in for the first time. Note that the first time you log into Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Reports, a number of web pages are generated, and as a result your initial attempt to login may take some time to complete.
