Monitor > Manage Custom Reports

You can create custom reports to run on demand or on schedule (each night). For predefined reports, select MonitorReports.

After the firewall has generated a scheduled custom report, you risk invalidating the past results of that report if you modify its configuration to change its future output. If you need to modify a scheduled report configuration, the best practice is to create a new report.

Add a custom report to create a new one. To base the report on an existing template, Load Template and select the template. To generate a report on demand, instead of or in addition to the Scheduled time, click Run Now. Specify the following settings to define the report.

Custom Report Settings	Description

Description	Enter a description for the custom report.

In the previous example, the negate option causes a match on entries that are not in the past 24 hours or are not from the untrust zone. Attribute—Choose a data element. The available options depend on the choice of database. Operator—Choose the criterion to determine whether the attribute applies (such as =). The available options depend on the choice of database.
