CHAPTER 12. REPORTS
Kaspersky Security 5.5 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 allows receiving
reports about the results of the anti-virus Exchange Server protection and about
the anti-spam protection results.
Reports are generated automatically according to the schedule or manually by
request and can be saved in a specified folder and sent by e-mail. Information
contained in the reports saved on disk and those sent by e-mail is identical;
however the format, structure and viewing method differ.
Reports saved on disk are created in
html
-page format and have frame-based
structure. They are saved to a folder that contains a predetermined set of files
that support frame-based report structure and enable report viewing (details see
section 12.2, page 108). This folder is created with the name that reflects the
date and the time when the report was created in the following format
<report
name: DD.MM.YYYY_HH-MM-SS>
. The default storage location for the reports
is the
Reports
folder. It is created in the application's installation folder during the
installation of the
Security Server
component. Any other folder selected by the
administrator can be used as the report storage (details see section 12.1.2, page
107).
Reports sent by e-mail are files in HTML format sent by e-mail as attachments.
The message contains clarification text as follows:
This message is created by
Kaspersky Security 5.5 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. The attached file
contains a report on the anti-virus server scans during the period from:
<DD.MM.YYYY_HH:MM:SS> until: <DD.MM.YYYY_HH:MM:SS>.
Reports are viewed using the default browser.
Reports are created based on the
report templates
created by the administrator.
The following is specified in the template: the reporting period, report creation
schedule and report format.
By default, during Security Server installation two in-built report templates are
created - the anti-virus scan report and the anti-spam scan report. Based on
these templates, the application generates reports on the first day of each month
covering last 30 days. They are stored in the
Reports
subfolder of the application
directory.
Report templates are stored in the
Report templates
service folder. This folder is
included into the structure of each node reflecting the managed Exchange server.
The list of the report templates is displayed in the form of a table in the results
pane (see Figure 37).
