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

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

Step 2

Choose Email > Reporting > Archived Reports.

Step 3

Click Generate Report Now.

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 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.

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 Delivery Option section, choose the following:

  • Archive the report by checking the Archive Report checkbox.

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

Note
Domain-Based Executive Summary reports cannot be archived.

  • Email the report, by checking the Email now to recipients checkbox.

In the text field, type in the recipient email addresses for the report.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Click Deliver This Report to generate the report.
