Scheduled reports
You can schedule a report to show this information:
- All Events
- Threat Events
- Access Control Events
- Alerts only
- DNS Summary Report data
- Proxy Summary Report data
A scheduled report that's configured to show all alerts contains event information based on the threat categories or lists that are enabled with the Send Alerts setting in a policy. The Send Alert setting sends alert notifications to users who are configured to receive them. A scheduled report with only alerts shows the events that triggered these alerts.
If an administrator configures a report to show All Events, report recipients receive information about all events, regardless of whether a policy is enabled with the Send Alert setting.
In addition to showing all event and alert data, an administrator can configure a report to show only threat events, access control events, DNS summary report data, or proxy summary data. Generated report data for alerts and events are emailed to report recipients and presented in the body of the email. When you schedule a report with DNS summary or proxy summary data, the report recipient is emailed a PDF report that contains bar graphs. The bar graphs show the top activity based on report dimensions such as location, geographical region, domains, and more. This is the same data that an administrator can see in the DNS or proxy summary reports.
When creating a report, an SIA administrator can specify these settings:
-
Schedule a report to run on a daily or weekly basis.
-
Select the format of the report output. Report results are sent to the provided email addresses in HTML or plain text format. You enter the email addresses of SIA administrators or users who you want to receive report results.
-
Configure a scheduled report to show events for a specific location, sub-location, or multiple locations or sub-locations. By default, scheduled reports show data based on all locations. If you are a delegated or strict delegated administrator, you can select the locations that you are allowed to access.
Scheduled reports appear as a list on the Scheduled Reports page. With this view, you can easily review the settings associated with each report and if necessary, modify them.
Like alert notifications, an event report that is sent to administrators or SIA users is organized around domains and includes information about the event or alert such as the associated location, policy, and list. The report also includes alert or event details such as the action taken on the event. The report can show up to 5,000 events.
For more information on the data that is shown in report results, see Data in alert notifications and scheduled reports.
Schedule a report
You can schedule a report that includes alert information, all events, and specific event information. You can schedule a report to run daily or on a specific day of the week. You can also specify a location or multiple locations that you want to report on.
Report results are emailed to users you configure to receive the scheduled report.
You need to be an SIA administrator to perform this task. If you are a delegated administrator or strict delegated administrator, you can schedule a report, modify a scheduled report, enable or disable a scheduled report that you created. You cannot modify scheduled reports created by other administrators. Reports results that an administrator receives are based on the locations a delegated or strict delegated administrator created or is permitted to access. For more information, see Grant delegated or tenant access.

Data in alert notifications and scheduled reports
This table describes the data that is included in an alert notification email or scheduled report:
If you select Text format for the report, columns and values in the report are shown in a pipe-delimited format.
If you schedule a report for DNS or proxy summary data, an administrator is emailed a PDF that contains bar graphs with the top activity for a specific dimension, such as location, geographical region, domain, and more. This is the same data that an administrator can view in the DNS Summary and Proxy Summary activity reports.
