Creating Domain-Based Executive Summary Reports

Procedure

Step 1

On the Security Management appliance, you can schedule the report or generate the report immediately.

To schedule the report:

  1. [New Web Interface Only] On the Security Management appliance, click to load the legacy web interface.

  2. Choose Email > Reporting > Scheduled Reports.

  3. Click Add Scheduled Report.

    To create an on-demand report:

    • Choose Email > Reporting > Archived Reports.
    • Click Generate Report Now.

Step 2

From the Report Type drop-down list, choose Domain-Based Executive Summary report type.

Step 3

Specify the domains to include in the report and the email addresses for the report recipients. You can select one of the following options for generating the report:

  • Generate report by specifying individual domains. Enter the domains for the report and the email addresses for the report recipients. Use commas to separate multiple entries. You can also use subdomains, such as subdomain.yourdomain.com. Specifying individual domains is recommended if you create reports for a small number of domains that are not expected to change frequently.

  • Generate reports by uploading file. Import a configuration file that contains a list of the domains and recipient email addresses for the report. You can select a configuration file from the configuration directory on the appliance or upload one from your local computer. Using a configuration file is recommended if you create reports for a large number of domains that change frequently. For more information on configuration files for domain-based reports, see Managing Lists of Domains and Recipients for Domain-Based Executive Summary Reports.

Note
If you send reports to an external account (such as Yahoo! Mail or Gmail), you may need to add the reporting return address to the external account’s allowed list to prevent report messages from being incorrectly classified as spam.

Step 4

In the Title text field, type 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.

Step 5

In the Outgoing Domain section, choose the domain type for the outgoing mail summary. Choices are: By Server or By Email Address.

Step 6

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

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

From the Schedule section, choose a schedule for generating the report.

Choices include: Daily, Weekly (drop-down list for day of week included), or monthly.

Step 9

(Optional) Upload a custom logo for the report. The logo appears at the top of the report.

  • The logo should be a .jpg, .gif, or .png file that is at most 550 x 50 pixels.

  • If a logo file is not supplied, the default Cisco logo is used.

Step 10

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