Cisco IronPort AsyncOS 7.6 for Email Daily Management Guide
Managing Reports
Scheduled reports can be scheduled to run on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. You can select a time at
which to run the report. Regardless of when you run a report, it will only include data for the time period
that you specify, for example the past 3 days or the previous calendar month. Note that a daily report
scheduled to run at 1AM will contain data for the previous day, midnight to midnight.
Your Cisco IronPort appliance ships with a default set of scheduled reports —you can use, modify, or
delete any of them.
To create a scheduled report,
Step 1 On the Monitor > Scheduled Reports page, click Add Scheduled Report. The Add Scheduled Report
page is displayed.
Figure 2-42 Adding a Scheduled Report
Step 2 Select a report type. Depending on the report type you select, different options may be available.
For more information about the available types of scheduled reports, see Scheduled Report Types,
page 2-43.
Step 3 Enter a descriptive 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 4 Select a time range for the report data. (This option is not available for Outbreak Filters reports.)
Step 5 Select a format for the report:
– 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.
For information about generating PDFs in languages other than English, see the “Notes on
Reports” section on page 2-44.
– CSV. Create an ASCII text file that contains the tabular 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 6 Specify the report options, if available. Some reports do not have report options.
Step 7 Specify scheduling and delivery options. If you do not specify an email address, the report is archived
but is not sent to any recipients.
