Work with Reports in the PCE

This topic describes how to manage your reports in the PCE web console.

REST API to Generate Reports

In Illumio Core 21.2.0, Illumio previewed the Reporting feature by providing the ability to generate an Executive Summary report for your managed environment. In addition to the PCE web console, you can use the Illumio REST API to generate and manage reports. In 21.2.0 and any on-prem PCE before Illumio Core Release before 22.2.0, you can generate and manage reports through the Illumio REST API by editing the runtime_env.yml file.

  1. sudo vi /etc/illumio-pce/runtime_env.yml

  2. Add: reporting_enabled: true.

  3. Restart the PCE.

For information about using the Illumio REST API to manage reports, see the REST API Developer Guide.

Add a Report

  1. From the PCE web console menu, choose Reports. The Reports page appears.
