Reporting & Analytics
StacksAtlas exports PDF and CSV reports from the dashboard for client handoffs, audits, and internal reviews.
Executive Reports
The "Generate Report" function produces a high-fidelity PDF document suitable for client handoffs, audits, or C-suite presentations.
CSV Inventory Export (Enterprise-Flat Layout)
The Export Full Audit (CSV) action produces a machine-first, denormalized spreadsheet designed for pivot tables, Splunk ingestion, and automated enterprise parsers.
- Header Row First: Exports begin with column headers, no title blocks or decorative separator lines.
- Site Metadata on Every Row: Each device row repeats
SiteName,LocationMetadata, andReportingNodeNameso downstream tools never encounter blank grouping cells. - Hierarchical Sort Order: Rows are sorted by site, location, reporting node, then IP address for consistent fleet grouping.
- ISO Timestamps:
FirstDiscoveredUtcis emitted in UTC ISO-8601 format with legacy fallback toFirstSeen.
Report Components
- Executive Summary: A high-level dashboard showing total asset counts, vendor distribution, and an overall Network Health Grade.
- Asset Inventory: A detailed, tabular list of every device, including IP, MAC, Vendor, Name, and Firmware Version (where available). Reports include Security Grade (Green, Yellow, Red) and Open Port Count for immediate hygiene assessment.
- Governance Log: A record of which user generated the report and the timestamp, ensuring a chain of custody for the data.
- DHCP Histograms: A visual breakdown of IP address churn and MAC persistence, powered by the Lease Detective.
- Smart Sorting: All reports use numerical IP sorting (e.g.,
.2before.10) to ensure logical network flow. - Security Hygiene Grading: A list of high-risk assets (e.g., Legacy OS or default credentials) identified during scans.
In-App Reports Dashboard
The System Reports page groups live estate data into collapsible sections so large fleets stay scannable:
- Section accordions: Estate composition, Security hygiene, Audit feed (24h), Health outliers, and Service matrix. Use Collapse all / Expand all at the top.
- Security search: Filter findings by device name, SA ID, title, or description. Severity chips (Critical, High, Medium) narrow the list; exports remain full-fidelity.
- Sticky export: CSV and PDF actions stay pinned at the bottom of the viewport while you review findings.
Visual Forensics: Sparklines
To prove network stability, or instability, StacksAtlas embeds Raster Sparklines into the interface and reports.
- What they are: Micro-charts representing the latency (ping time) of a device over the last hour.
- Value: a text log saying "Packet Loss: 2%" is abstract. A sparkline showing a jagged, erratic line provides visual proof of a problem.
Alert Intelligence
StacksAtlas includes a centralized Notification Center acting as an audit log for network events.
Types of Alerts
- Device Offline/Online: Critical infrastructure status changes.
- Stability Degradation: When a device's Stability Score drops below a configured threshold (e.g., 80%).
- New Device Found: Security alerts when unknown hardware joins the network.
Notification History
Unlike transient push notifications, StacksAtlas keeps a searchable history of all alerts.
- Filter & Search: Quickly find when a specific server went offline last week.
- Bulk Acknowledge: Clear operational noise while preserving the history for audits.
