Understanding Report Data Sources
A data source is a database from which you can view inventory report information. The Inventory Management System provides two report data sources:
- Inventory—Includes all inventory items that are created when you perform an inventory scan on Juniper Networks devices on the network that has been added to JUNOScope. You must perform an inventory scan of devices on the network for the Inventory data source to have any data. For more information, see Scanning Inventory Data.
- Demo—A demonstration database that includes sample inventory items that you can use to practice viewing and manipulating inventory reports. When you open a demo report, you see the word Demo in the title bar area to differentiate from your production inventory reports. Some of the reports shown in this chapter are generated using the Demo database.
To view Inventory Management System report data sources, from the JUNOScope main window, click Inventory Management > Reports.
