Configuring report profiles and generating reports
The Log and Report > Report Settings > Configuration tab displays a list of report profiles.
A report profile is a group of settings that contains the report name, its subject matter, its schedule, and other aspects that the FortiMail unit considers when generating reports from log data. The FortiMail unit presents the information in tabular and graphical format.
You can create one report profile for each type of report that you will generate on demand or on a schedule.
| Generating reports can be resource intensive. To avoid email processing performance impacts, you may want to generate reports during times with low traffic volume, such as at night. For more information on scheduling the generation of reports, see “Configuring the report schedule”. |
