Distributing report through email

After setting the group for a report you can schedule it for distribution in the form of a HTML-formatted email and a CSV file. You can schedule the email to be sent to one or more email recipients immediately or every day.

Note: This email option is not available on the Event Analysis report. However, you can configure targeted email options when you configure alerts as described in Configuring alerts, and global email options on the Security page as described in Sending global email notification when a security event occurs.

See Scheduling a malware report and email from the Reports page for information on scheduling a malware report and email from the Reports page.

Including the CSV version of the report allows recipients to load the report data into a spreadsheet or import it into some other software application that consumes CSV files. CSV files do not have graphics or dashboard concepts. A CSV file generated from an overview report contains each of the column headings separated by commas as the first row. The subsequent rows list the endpoint and the values for each of the columns.

Multiple CSV files are generated from the detail reports. The first CSV file is formatted similar to the overview report. A separate CSV file is generated for each detail level of the report. For example, in the File Integrity Details Report the following levels of detail will generate a separate CSV file:

  • TE Configuration
  • Auditd
  • IBM i Audit
  • RTC Configuration
  • Sub-product status
