Reporting
The Reporting section is responsible for defining filter rules and lists of active reporters. The configuration tag defines default filtering rules for all the reporters. A reporter can override a filtering rule by defining the <filtering> tag in its body. Each reporter is responsible for the topology being reported.
Note A reporter can be deactivated if its active attribute is set to false or the tag responsible for the reporter is commented out or removed.
The following reporters are available:
Default Reporter
If no reporters are activated, the job returns the IP and Node CIs linked by the containment relationship only.
Client Process Reporter
This reporter reports client processes.
Topology
Client Server Link Reporter
This reporter reports the client process communication endpoint and the client-server link between them (even if clientProcess active="false").
Topology
IP Traffic Link Reporter
This reporter the traffic link between IPs. The reportTrafficDetails attribute indicates whether the job should report the octetCount, packetCount and portset attributes of the link.
Topology
Node Dependency Link Reporter
This reporter reports the dependency link between discovered nodes.
Topology
Server Process Reporter
This reporter reports the server process. The linkWithCommunicationEndpoint attribute indicates whether the reporter should link the process with the discovered communication endpoint (with 'usage' link).
Topology
Server Running Software Reporter
This reporter reports server running software linked with communication endpoint (with 'usage' link) and server process. The linkWithProcess attribute indicates whether the reporter should link the discovered running software with the server process (with 'dependency' link).
The reporting of server running software is dependent on the acceptedServices parameter:
If set to known_services, a server running software is reported only if the service it represents is configured as discover="1" in the portNumberToPortName.xml file.
If set to '*', all found services are reported.
If it contains any TCP ports or service names, the job reports only the running software that works with these ports.
