Build a report (preview)

This article explains how to build a report (preview) for on‑premises servers and workloads by using Azure Migrate. After completing this article, you’ll be able to generate a report by selecting the appropriate report type, migration preferences, and configuration options in an Azure Migrate project.

In this article, you’ll learn how to:

• Create a report on Azure Migrate.
• Select the appropriate report type, migration preferences, and configuration options.
• Generate the report to review insights about your discovered servers and workloads.
• After completing this section, you can generate migration and modernization reports.

Prerequisites

Before you build a report, ensure the following:

• You’ve created an Azure Migrate project. You can use an existing project if it is available. After the project is created, the Azure Migrate: Discovery and assessment tool is automatically added.
• You’ve discovered your IT estate using one of the supported discovery sources for your scenario.
• All discovery errors are resolved.

Recommendation

To improve the report accuracy, we recommend the following actions:

• Enrich your data by defining the environment, migration intent, and application.
• Define environment and migration for your workloads to enrich your data.
• Specify associated applications.
• Enable application auto‑discovery and review the discovered applications for accuracy.
