As Built Report

Document Your Datacenter
With PowerShell

As Built Report is an open source configuration document framework which utilises Microsoft PowerShell to produce as-built documentation in multiple document formats for multiple vendors and technologies. The framework allows users to easily generate clear and consistent documentation, for any environment which supports Microsoft PowerShell and/or a RESTful API.

Features

  • Multiple Document Formats

    Generate reports in one or more document formats, including DOCX, HTML, and Text.

  • Granular Information Level

    Configure the information level for each report section. You can create a summary report, a fully comprehensive report, or something in between.

  • Customised Styling

    Use the default style or create your own to match your corporate identity. Set page orientation, text and table formatting with fonts, colours, borders and highlighted cells and rows.

  • Modular Architecture

    The modular architecture and core framework enables users to use the same in-built commands to generate as-built configuration reports from a library of technology vendors.

  • Health Checks

    Enable health checks to highlight configuration issues within a report. Toggle individual health checks on or off as required.

  • Email Reports

    Attach and send reports via email to one or more recipients.

Components

  • Core Module

    The core module provides the framework for each individual report module. It provides the base commands and default style script used to generate each individual report.

  • Reports Module

    The report module is specific to each vendor and/or technology and is used to extract information from the specific environment.

    The report module will be written to utilise PowerShell modules or RESTful APIs which the vendor/technology provides.

  • Core Module Configuration

    The core module configuration is a JSON file which stores information relating to the author’s name, company information & SMTP mail server configuration.

    Individual core module configuration files can be saved and specified when generating reports.

  • Reports Module Configuration

    The reports module configuration is a JSON file which stores information specific to the related report. It holds information such as the report name, version, and release status.

    The report configuration can also provide functionality such as configurable report options, health checks and granular information levels.

    Individual report module configuration files can be saved and specified when generating reports.

  • :simple-powershell: Styles Script

    The styles script sets the default layout, fonts, colours and sizes used within the report.

    Style scripts can be used to layout cover pages, table of contents and other unique tables or sections.

    Custom style scripts can be created to format reports to match your corporate identity.
