Reporting
Let’s configure automated reporting from the device to hit the inbox every month, week, or as needed. First, email profiles. Then report widgets/groups, lastly recurrence.
- We will need an email profile. Go build a bogus gmail account, like myfirewall@gmail.com
- Populate a profile, from your bogus account using the smtp.gmail.com gateway, pictured below.
- If you would like to encrypt these connections (both the more secure login methods, and stronger auth for data in motion, find this article to pull correct certs, import to NGFW, and create a server profile attached to this email profile).
- Go to the monitor tab, scroll to the bottom. Manage custom reports, add, load template, and pull in each widget.
- If you would like to build a report to show traffic touching a specific rule, or sub-query, use the filter builder in the bottom right of the custom report menu.
- Use the PDF Summary tab to build graphical reports as opposed to logs, CSVs, etc.
- Report groups tab, create reports based off use (users, VPN, threat, traffic, etc.)
- Now add in a email scheduler profile for your reports
Farhan, are you able to verify you've replicated some of these steps from above? You don't need to follow the same email profile setup, but, you will want to import the widgets from templates if possible, and then group those widgets into report groups, and schedule those report groups.
Can you show me which report widgets you are trying to export, and their filters?
