Centralized Email Reporting Overview

Your Cisco Secure Email and Web Managerappliance shows aggregated information from individual or multiple Email Security appliances so that you can monitor your email traffic patterns and security risks. You can run reports in real-time to view an interactive display of system activity over a specific period of time, or you can schedule reports and run them at regular intervals. Reporting functionality also allows you to export raw data to a file.

This feature centralizes the reports listed under the Monitor menu of the Email Security appliance.

The Centralized Email Reporting feature not only generates high-level reports, allowing you to understand what is happening on their network, but it also allows you to drill down and see traffic details for a particular domain, user, or category.

The Centralized Tracking feature allows you to track email messages that traverse multiple Email Security appliances.

Note
The Email Security appliance only stores data if local reporting is used. If centralized reporting is enabled for the Email Security appliance then the Email Security appliance does NOT retain any reporting data except for System Capacity and System Status. If Centralized Email Reporting is not enabled, the only reports that are generated are System Status and System Capacity.

For more information about availability of report data during and after the transition to centralized reporting, see the “Centralized Reporting Mode” section of the documentation or online help for your Email Security appliance.
