Which two of the following export formats are supported in Hybrid Cloud Observability (HCO) reports? (Choose two.)
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability provides robust reporting capabilities designed for both technical analysis and executive presentation. The SolarWinds Platform Reporting Guide specifies that reports generated through the Web Console can be delivered or manually exported in several standardized formats.
Excel (.xls/.xlsx): This format is primarily used for data-heavy reports where administrators need to perform further calculations, sorting, or external data manipulation. It allows the raw table data from the report to be easily ingested into other business intelligence tools.
PDF: This is the standard format for automated delivery and 'executive-ready' documentation. It preserves the visual layout, including charts, logos, and specific formatting defined in the report builder.
While the platform uses JSON (Option B) for internal API communications and some dashboard configurations, and txt (Option D) might be used for certain log exports, they are not standard selectable 'export formats' within the primary Web-Based Report builder for end-user consumption. The primary focus of the reporting engine is providing human-readable (PDF) and spreadsheet-compatible (Excel) outputs.
