By default, the Scheduled Report Export feature is disabled. After a successful deployment or upgrade, you can enable this feature. This procedure provides steps to enable Scheduled Report Export feature in VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance deployed on TKG, VM Based, TCA, or Azure platforms.

For TKG, Azure, or VM Based Deployments

To enable Scheduled Report Export for TKG, VM Based , or Azure:
  1. Update variable grafanaScheduledExportEnabled value as true in values-user-overrides.yaml file in the directory tcx-deployer/product-helm-charts/tcsa.
    vi $TCSA_WORK_SPACE/tcx-deployer/product-helm-charts/tcsa/values-user-overrides.yaml

# During a fresh deployment of TCSA, this flag is set to false and the Grafana dashboard scheduling and export feature is disabled by default. Post deployment, if the user wants to enable the feature, set the flag to true and refer to the deployment guide for steps. Note that this feature requires additional resources; use the sizing sheet for resource requirements.
grafanaScheduledExportEnabled: true
  2. Run the following command to enable the Scheduled Report Export.
    cd $TCSA_WORK_SPACE/tcx-deployer/clis

./tcxctl deploy product --name tcsa --kubeconfig <kubeconfig file loaction> --path <$TCSA_WORK_SPACE/tcx-deployer/product-helm-charts/tcsa> --values <$TCSA_WORK_SPACE/tcx-deployer/product-helm-charts/tcsa/values-user-overrides.yaml> --timeout=10
