Manually generating a report

Reports can be started manually. If you start multiple reports manually, the reports are added to a queue and labeled with their queue position.

About this task

Manually generating a report does not reset the existing report schedule. For example, if you generate a weekly report for most active firewall denials, then manually generate the report, the weekly report still generates on the schedule you initially configured.

Procedure

  1. Click the Reports tab.
  2. Select the report that you want to generate.
  3. Click Run Report.
    When a report generates, the Next Run Time column displays one of the three following messages:
    • Generating - The report is generating.
    • Queued (position in the queue)- The report is queued for generation. The message indicates the position that the report is in the queue. For example, 1 of 3.
    • (x hour(s) x min(s )y sec(s)) - The report is scheduled to run. The message is a count-down timer that specifies when the report runs next.
  4. To refresh the view, including the information in the Next Run Time column, click Refresh.

What to do next

After the report generates, you can view the generated report from the Generated Reports column.
