Time Period Local time for: Select to base the time period on the local time
of the FortiAnalyzer unit or the selected devices.
Log time stamps reflect when the FortiAnalyzer
unit received the message, not when the device
generated the log message. If you have devices
located in different time zones, and are creating
a report layout based on a span of time, ensure
that the time span is relative to the device, not
the FortiAnalyzer unit.
For example, if you have a device and a
FortiAnalyzer unit located three time zones
apart, a report for the time frame from 9 AM to 11
AM will yield different results depending on
whether the report time frame is relative to the
device’s local time, or to the FortiAnalyzer unit’s
local time.
From: Select the beginning date and time of the log
time range.
To: Select the ending date and time of the log time

are sent by email. For example, if PDF and Text
formats are selected in the output template, and
then PDF and MHT are selected in the report
schedule, the report’s file format in the email
attachment is PDF.

report output template from the drop-down list.
