Schedule and Run Reports

Monitoring > Reporting > Schedule & Run Reports

Use the Schedule & Run Reports tab to create, configure, run, schedule, and distribute reports. You can specify what you want to include in your report based on appliances, the time range of the report, traffic type, and the types of charts to include. You can also specify email recipients for the report.

Reports and statistics help you bracket a problem, question, or analysis. Orchestrator reports fall into two broad categories:

• Statistics related to network and application performance. These provide visibility into the network, enabling you to investigate problems, address trends, and evaluate your WAN utilization.

• Reports related to status of the network and appliances. For example, alarms, threshold crossing alerts, reachability between Orchestrator and the appliances, scheduled jobs, and so forth.

Configure the following in this tab:

• Global Report – By default, Orchestrator emails this preconfigured subset of charts every day. Clicking on a chart’s image opens the associated tab in the browser.

  • To access all reports residing on the Orchestrator server, click View Reports.

• Name of the report.

• Email Recipients – Enter the email address to which to send the report.

  • To send a test email or to configure another SMTP server instead, navigate to Orchestrator > Software & Setup > Setup > SMTP Server Settings.
  • If a test email does not arrive within minutes, check your firewall.

• Default range of reports – Daily = 14 days, Hourly = 24 hours. Increasing the scope uses additional memory.

  NOTE: Daily and Hourly ranges are not available for Health Map charts. Health Map charts collect data for 7 days starting the day the report is run and the 6 days prior to that date. For example, if you run the report on March 10, the report will include data from March 4-10.

• A Scheduled or Single Report.

Additionally, you can specify the following for a generated report:

• Appliances in Report – Fill in the box or click Use Tree Selection to display appliances.

• Amount of Top Reports (10, 25, 50, 100, 1000).

• Traffic Type.

• Select the check boxes next to the following charts to be included in the report:

  • Application Charts

  • Tunnel Charts

  • Appliance Charts

• Lock Scales for Local Trends – Automatically scales graphs for specified scheduled reports.

TIP: To specify the timezone for scheduled jobs and reports, navigate to Orchestrator > Software & Setup > Setup > Timezone for Scheduled Jobs.
