Note
Reports can be customized only on managed Email Security — Server, Network Security, and File Protect appliances.
The Central Management System allows you to generate reports about malicious behavior on the network from all managed Email Security — Server, Network Security, and File Protect appliances. Reports include data accumulated from all appliances of the same type. For example, if you specify the "Alert Details" report, the report will contain all data from all Network Security appliances that are managed or have been managed during the specified report time frame. You can create your own custom reports from scratch, use the predefined reports, or clone a predefined report and use it as a template for a custom report. You can also control access to the content of the report using roles. This content includes the appropriate fields and filters that you want to include in each report.
Predefined report templates
Each predefined report template defines the individual sections in the report and the presentation format (table or graph). You can choose the format (table or graph) for each section individually.
Custom reports
You can configure any number of sections for a custom report on the Central Management System appliance. You can generate a custom report on the Central Management System appliance to help you retrieve and analyze the traffic pattern, appliance health, appliance performance, user actions, or alert details about malware and infection trends for all managed appliances. A custom report allows you to define the content and format of the data in each section of the report and the attributes of the report such as the logo. You can configure the Central Management System appliance to send the generated custom report by email to the intended recipients. You can schedule reports to be generated automatically.
