Generating Email Reports On Demand

In addition to the reports that you can view (and generate PDFs for) using the interactive report pages described in Understanding the Email Reporting Pages on the New Web Interface, you can save PDFs or raw-data CSV files for the reports listed in About Scheduled and On-Demand Email Reports at any time, for the time frame that you specify.

To generate an on-demand report perform the following:

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Choose Monitoring > Schedule & Archive.

Step 3

In the View Archived Reports tab, click on the + button.

Step 4

Choose a report type.

For descriptions of the report types, see About Scheduled and On-Demand Email Reports.

Step 5

In the Title field, enter the name of the title for the report.

AsyncOS does not verify the uniqueness of report names. To avoid confusion, do not create multiple reports with the same name.

Note	For information about the settings for a Domain-Based Executive Summary report, see Domain-Based Executive Summary Report. Available options for scheduled reports differ by report type. Options described in the remainder of this procedure do not necessarily apply to all reports.

Step 6

From the Time Range to Include drop-down list, select a time range for the report data.

Note the custom time range option.

Step 7

In the Format section, choose the format of the report.

Choices include:

PDF. Create a formatted PDF document for delivery, archival, or both. You can view the report as a PDF file immediately by clicking Preview PDF Report.
CSV. Create an ASCII text file that contains raw data as comma-separated values. Each CSV file may contain up to 100 rows. If a report contains more than one type of table, a separate CSV file is created for each table.

Step 8

Select the appliances or appliance groups for which you want to run the report. If you have not created any appliance groups, this option does not appear.

Step 9

From the Email Appliance(s) section, select the Email Security appliance from the drop-down list.

Step 10

From the Delivery Options section, choose any one of the following:

By choosing this, the report will be listed on the Archived Reports page.

To archive and email the report, click Archive and Email to Recipients.
To email the report, click Only Email to Recipients.

In the Email IDs field, enter the recipient email addresses.

Step 11

Select a language for this report. For generating PDFs in Asian languages, see important information at Exporting Reporting and Tracking Data.

Step 12

Click Submit to generate the report.
