Kace - Create Dell Warranty Report

I'm new to Kace and trying to figure out how to get a report for my Dell equipment's warranty expiration sorted by the expiration date and showing the computers name, service tag, and expiration. I have tried to modify the Dell Warranty reports that came loaded with Kace but it’s not working, any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • After upgrading to v5.4 you need to remove all instances of KBSYS. from table calls to avoid access denied to 'R1'@localhost - gke565 11 years ago
  • Hi guys, i was running a similar report on our kace but i got this error instead;

    mysql error: [1142: SELECT command denied to user 'R1'@'localhost' for table 'DELL_WARRANTY'] in EXECUTE(
    "SELECT DISTINCT M.NAME AS MACHINE_NAME, M.CS_MODEL AS MODEL, DA.SERVICE_TAG, DW.SERVICE_LEVEL_DESCRIPTION, DW.SERVICE_PROVIDER, DW.END_DATE AS EXPIRATION_DATE
    FROM KBSYS.DELL_WARRANTY DW
    JOIN KBSYS.DELL_ASSET DA ON (DW.SERVICE_TAG = DA.SERVICE_TAG)
    JOIN MACHINE M ON (M.BIOS_SERIAL_NUMBER = DA.PARENT_SERVICE_TAG OR M.BIOS_SERIAL_NUMBER = DA.SERVICE_TAG)
    WHERE M.CS_MANUFACTURER LIKE '%dell%'
    AND M.BIOS_SERIAL_NUMBER!=''
    AND DA.DISABLED != 1
    ORDER BY EXPIRATION_DATE, DW.SERVICE_LEVEL_DESCRIPTION LIMIT 0")


    Can anyone point out to me what could have gone wrong? Thank you. - Pava 10 years ago

Here's a few versions for you. 

The first does what you asked for (with a few more columns I find useful in my own environment). 

The second one is sorted and grouped by machine name, which is useful when a machine has more than 1 warranty tagged to it (fairly common in my environment). 

The third one only pulls warranties for systems in the "server" label group (an LDAP label I have setup, but you could use any type).  Just change the next to the last line from "%server%" to whatever machine label you want to target and it should work (thanks to dchristian for the JOIN statements targetting a label in that one - the built-in report's statements for doing the same thing weren't working well for me in this report, probably due to my own MySQL ignorance).

To create any of these, go to Reporting > Reports > Choose Action > Add New SQL Report and populate it with this info and then hit Save.

Hope that helps!

John

  • I tried running the third option and it timed out and locked up my KBOX. Any ideas? - sburkey2 12 years ago
  • Ditto here, the first two reports run OK, but the third keeps running (I'm using MySQL Workbench to test) and I have to abort. I modified the query to look for 'L.NAME LIKE '%IST-Computers%' . IST-Computers is a Label which I have manually applied to a specific group of computers in our default KBOX organization.

    What else can I check to see what is happening?
    JBC - joncutler 12 years ago
  • Make sure you have a label named "server" that targets your servers (second to the last line of SQL code), or change it to a label you already are using:

    AND L.NAME LIKE '%your server label here%'

    That's probably what's locking things up.

  • I use pretty much the same report with a few modifications. I found that ordering by DW.END_DATE I can add it to my custom spreadsheet I send to the customers easier. I would be curious to know if I could upload my custom spreadsheet into K1000 so that when I pull these reports it already comes on this spreadsheet. Thoughts?
