Report Configuration
Use this page to view a list of reports that have been configured and scheduled for generation. You can configure a new report by clicking Generate New Report or right-click an existing report to view, edit or delete it. The Software Vulnerability Manager reporting capabilities allow the user to schedule and fully customize the intended report.
To configure a report:
| 1. | Choose between PDF and CSV as the format for the report. |
| 2. | When using the CSV option for the report format, all configured sections will be rendered into a separate CSV file and then compressed into a single ZIP file. Please note that some of the configuration options below will have no effect on the resulting data in the CSV files (CSV reports are Host Level Statistics and Product Level Statistics). |
| 3. | Choose between a One-time only report or a recurring one (daily, weekly, monthly) and click Configure to select the report distribution date or frequency schedule. |
| 4. | Choose to include the Executive Summary Report which provides an overall summary with the general state of vulnerability and patch management. |
| 5. | Choose which sites should be included together with which statistics to include. |
| 6. | Choose a Host Smart Group to be included together with which statistics to include. |
| 7. | Choose a Product Smart Group to be included together with which statistics to include. |
| 8. | Choose the email address of the person(s) receiving the report or, if you do not want to send the report via email, do not select any recipients. |
| 9. | Choose the name for the PDF file, set the report title, and specify if you would like to include the report parameters in the report itself. All the reports available through this feature are provided in a PDF format and will be emailed to the defined email addresses in accordance with the schedule and recurrence specified. Once generated, a report can also be downloaded directly from the main page. |
Important:The emails containing the PDF reports will be sent by your configured mail server. The mail server must be configured before users receive the PDF reports.
