A User Guide to Reports in Sonatype CLM

Chapter 1. Introduction

So, you’ve created an organization, an application and a policy - now what?

Well, you want to see how your application measures up to those policies right? Perhaps you even want to see how all your applications compare. If you haven’t already, you are likely going to be asking questions like:

  • How many violations does my application have?
  • What’s the worst component among all my applications?
  • What is the Application Composition Report?
  • What is the Trending Report?

These are really great questions, and we’ll answer them in this guide. Before we get started though, we should establish a few key items that you will need to have completed:

  • Installed the Sonatype CLM server and the command line scanner
  • Created an organization
  • Created an application
  • Created a policy
  • Completed an application scan

In addition to the above, you should understand how to access your installed Sonatype CLM server. While we will highlight how to access reports, not only from the Reporting area, but also others, it is assumed that you completed everything indicated above.

Please refer to the other Sonatype CLM guides, if you need any assistance with regard to this required setup.
