The HTML Report

HP recommends using the HTML report, since it provides all the SWA analysis information available – it is the compilation of the other reports. This report is always generated and is saved to $HOME/.swa/report/swa_report.html by default. You can specify your own filename with the html_report extended option. If you want the HTML report displayed to standard output, use the -r html option to the swa report command or the swa step report command.

The HTML report begins with the Assessment Profile and then includes the Action report, the Issue report, and the Detail report. See the following sections for more information on each type of report: “The Action Report”, “The Issue Report”, “The Detail Report”.

The HTML report also includes hyperlinks to detailed information on the HP ITRC for every patch and security bulletin issue found by SWA, plus direct links to download patches.

The HTML report begins with a table of contents, which includes links to all sections of the report.
