How to verify the command line options for Altair Monitor report generation?

 

Problems:

• There are quite a few command line options for Monitor batch reporting and often time users are not sure the exact options to use to generate the desired reports.
• The batch reporting command line options may be changed with new releases, and this may break the existing report generation scripts.

 

Resolutions:

When in doubt, run a batch report with Web UI and select HTML report format which will include the exact command line options.

 

Steps:

• Go to History > Batch Reporting tab. 

 

 

• Select the time range, tag (/features), report type.

Be sure to select “HTML” output format.

 

• Once the report is generated, you should see the exact command “ftlm_batch_report” with all options listed at the top of the report.

 

• Users may run “ftlm_batch_report -h” and reference the exact command line options produced by the Web UI batch report to create the desired scripts to generate reports. (eg. change the time-range, change output format to CSV, ... etc.)
