Report Manager

In order to access the FortiDB MA Report Manager module, click on the Report

Manager link on the left-side navigator on the main FortiDB MA screen.

The FortiDB MA Report Manager module offers:

•Alert Reports to summarize your alert data

•Custom Reports to enable you to design your own reports

Alert Report Manager

Due to the potential for a large number of alerts to accumulate in your system, the Alert Report Manager (ARM) enables you to create reports that organize the alert information. You filter and sort this information by:

•Severity Level1 (critical, informational, etc.)

•Status (handled or not)

•Database connection

•Type of rule (PDR or UDR)

•Guarded Item Name or Description

•Alert-Generated Time or Day

ARM can retrieve historical reports and alerts, thus providing a basis for regulatory or legal compliance. And you can export reports in comma- or tab-delimited format for further enhancements.

Setting a Report Schedule

Schedules are either timer-or calendar-based. For a timer-based schedule, you set a time interval for monitoring. For a calendar-based schedule, you choose to have the monitoring run at a specific day and/or time. (You can also combine the two types and randomize the interval you specify.)

To set up a schedule, use the Set Defaults-> Schedule Settings menu.

Setting a Timer-based Schedule

For a Timer-based Schedule:

1Specify the monitoring Interval or the Time to start scanning

2Click the Set Timer button2 in order to save the settings.

1.Severity levels are user-defined attributes. For example, you can define what 'Critical' means for your organization.

2.By default, reports will run every 24 hours. You must click on the Set Timer button to activate this, however.
