Deleting Reports
If a custom report no longer serves your informational needs, you can delete it. You cannot
delete predefined reports.
To delete a custom report, select the custom report you want to delete and select Delete
from the File menu. You can also right-click the report and select Delete , or use the Ctrl-D
keyboard shortcut.
Organizing Reports in Folders
If you have a large number of custom reports, it is good practice to organize them in
folders. You can organize your reports in folders under the My Reports and Shared Reports.
NOTE: You cannot create folders under any of the Predefined Reports folders.
To create a report folder, you need the appropriate permissions —Create Catalog Object,
Delete Catalog Object, and Edit Catalog Object.
After you have created a report folder, you can later edit or delete it. You cannot, rename
a folder. You can achieve the same result by saving the same report under a new folder
name, and then deleting the previous folder. For more information about editing and
deleting a report folder, refer to the
Network and Security Manager Online Help .
Generating Reports Automatically
You can generate scheduled log-based reports automatically by using the
guiSvrCli.sh
command line utility located on the NSM GUI Server. The utility works with scripts that
enable you to generate and send the reports using e-mail or FTP.
NOTE: You cannot use
guiSvrCli.sh
to generate reports defined as a My Report.
To create scheduled log-based reports, perform the following steps:
1.
Run the report using the guiSvrCli.sh utility to provide the login information and the
report name to be created.
2.
Create or edit the action script to define what is done with the report after it is run.
Sample scripts are included to show how to send reports as e-mail and as FTP data.
3.
Set up a cron job to execute the guiSvrCli.sh utility with the proper parameters.
NOTE: The preceding configuration must be done from the GUI Server console, not the
UI. You can verify the status of an executed report in the Job Manager.
Running Reports Using the guiSvrCLI.sh Utility
The
guiSvrCli.sh
utility is located in the /usr/netscreen/GuiSvr/utils directory on the GUI
Server. Use the following syntax to generate reports:
