The reporting capabilities on the firewall allow you
to keep a pulse on your network, validate your policies, and focus
your efforts on maintaining network security for keeping your users
safe and productive.
The firewall includes predefined reports that you can use as-is, or you can build custom
reports that meet your needs for specific data and actionable tasks. You can also
combine predefined and custom reports to compile information you need. The firewall
provides the following types of reports:
Predefined Reports—Allow you to view a quick summary of the traffic on
your network. A suite of predefined reports are available in four
categories—Applications, Traffic, Threat, and URL Filtering. See
View Reports.
User or Group Activity Reports—Allow you to schedule or create an
on-demand report on the application use and URL activity for a specific user or
for a user group. The report includes the URL categories and an estimated browse
time calculation for individual users. See
Generate User/Group Activity Reports.
Custom Reports—Create and schedule custom reports that show exactly the
information you want to see by filtering on conditions and columns to include.
You can also include query builders for more specific drill down on report data.
See
Generate Custom Reports.
PDF Summary Reports—Aggregate up to 18 predefined or custom reports/graphs
from Threat, Application, Trend, Traffic, and URL Filtering categories into one
PDF document. See
Manage PDF Summary Reports.
Botnet Reports—Allow you to use behavior-based mechanisms to identify
potential botnet-infected hosts in the network. See
Generate Botnet Reports.
Report Groups—Combine custom and predefined reports into report groups and
compile a single PDF that is emailed to one or more recipients. See
Manage Report Groups.
Reports can be generated on demand, on a recurring schedule, and can be scheduled for
email delivery.
