Cato provides a Predefined Report template that summarizes application usage and traffic in your account. Create the template for the Scheduled or One-Time report with the sites and SDP users that are included in the report over the defined time range. By default, the Predefined Report template for the Application Analytics report shows traffic and data for all sites and SDP users for the past week.
For more about working with reports, see Cato Reports.
Create a new recurring report by defining the Filters for the items included in the report, as well as the Schedule which defines how often the report is generated - daily, weekly, or monthly. Generated reports are stored in the Cato Cloud, and they can be automatically emailed or downloaded. The Schedule also defines the time range that is covered by each report.
You can select the Mailing List of email addresses for the recipients, which can include Cato Management Application admins and external users.
For more information about Mailing Lists, see Working with Mailing Lists.
To create a recurring Application Analytics report:
- From the navigation pane, select Home > Reports.
- From the Catalog tab, select the template you want to use to generate the report.
- Click Generate > Create Schedule.
- Enter a Report Name.
-
(Optional) In Filters, select specific sites or users for the Predefined Report.
By default, the Predefined Report includes all sites and users.
To include multiple sites or users in the report, use the IN operator.
- Define when the report will be generated and sent:
- Select the Frequency that the report is automatically sent: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
- For Weekly and Monthly Scheduled reports, in Every select the day that the report is sent.
-
In Send to Mailing List, select the Mailing List that receives the report.
You can click New to create a new mailing list.
- Click Save Schedule. The report is added to the Saved Reports tab.
Recurring reports are automatically generated based on their schedule settings. For example, a weekly report configured for Monday, is generated every Monday. You can also choose to manually generate a recurring report on demand, in which case the generated report uses the defined time range based on the current day. If an admin manually generates a weekly report on a Tuesday, the time range for the report is the previous 7 days starting from that Tuesday, regardless of the starting day of the recurring report. For more information about the time range of recurring reports, see Cato Reports.
Create a new One-time report template, and define the Filters for the items included in the report. Then define the Time Range that the report covers.
To create a One-Time report:
- From the navigation pane, select Home > Reports.
- From the Catalog tab, select the template you want to use to generate the report.
- Select Generate > Generate Now.
- Enter a Report Name.
- In Filters, define the Timeframe and Timezone of the report.
- Click Generate, the report is generated and you download it from the Generated PDFs tab.
For sections in the report that show the top applications, they include up to the top 12 items for that section.
