Chapter 67 Managing Reports

Working with Reports in Report Manager

–

Count—The number of times the item appears in an event or related statistic.

–

Percentage—The ratio of the reported characteristic to the total sum of that characteristic in the

report. The ratio includes only those numbers included in a report, so for example, you could

get a different percentage for the same item in a top 10 verses a top 25 report.

Step 4 (Optional) If desired, you can print the report or export it to a PDF or comma-separated values (CSV)

file.

•To print the report, click the Print button and select your printer. For more information, see Printing

Reports, page 67-23.

•To export the report, click the Export button and select the file type, PDF or CSV. For more

information, see Exporting Reports, page 67-23.

Tip The report data is not preserved when you close the report. If you want to keep the displayed

information, you must print or export the report.

Creating Custom Reports

You can create custom reports to target specific characteristics that require regular analysis or

presentation. For example, you might want to create separate Top Destination firewall reports for

different groups of firewall devices so that you can separately analyze activity in separate physical sites.

You can also use custom reports to analyze sources, destinations, or services that otherwise do not make

it into the top reports.

Tip It might take up to one hour for data to be available for a newly-created custom report. If you get the

message that no records are found after creating the report, wait an hour and then ensure that the time

span for the report is Last 1 Hour.
