How to generate Availability Reports data

h4. Generating data for Availability Reports after installation

Immediately following a _GroundWork Monitor_ installation there will not be any data displayed for _Availability Reports_. The data for these reports are generated by the {{dashboard_data_load.pl}} and {{dashboard_avail_load.pl}} scripts which normally run once a day, at night, as a cron job. This is the expected behavior. These scripts can be executed manually to generate data earlier if required.

The two scripts are located in directory:
{code}/usr/local/groundwork/core/reports/utils{code}
The cronjob is in the crontab for the user {{nagios}}. It can be viewed by typing the following command:
{code}crontab -l -u nagios{code}
It should show the following:
{code}50 23 * * * /usr/local/groundwork/core/reports/utils/dashboard_data_load.pl > /usr/local/groundwork/core/reports/utils/log/dashboard_data_load.log 2>&1 0 1 * * * /usr/local/groundwork/core/reports/utils/dashboard_avail_load.pl > /usr/local/groundwork/core/reports/utils/log/dashboard_avail_load.log 2>&1{code}
