Importing and exporting reports

You can transport a report between FortiAnalyzer units and ADOMs. You can export a report from the FortiAnalyzer unit to the management computer. The report is saved as a .dat file on the management computer. You can then import the report file to another FortiAnalyzer unit or ADOM.

To export reports:

1. If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.

2. Go to Reports > Report Definitions > All Reports.

3. Select a report, and click More > Export.

   The Export Report pane displays.

4. Use the toggles to Backup Other Dependent Settings in the exported file, as needed:

   • Subnets

   • LDAP Server (the export will remove the ADOM setting from the LDAP configuration)

   • Output Profile

   • Email

   By default, all of these options are disabled.

5. Click OK to export the report.

   The report configuration is saved as a .dat file on the management computer. This includes the charts, datasets, images, and report settings.

To import reports:

1. If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.

   If the device type used in the charts and datasets for the report does not match the ADOM type, the import will be rejected with an error. For more information, see How ADOMs affect reports.

2. Go to Reports > Report Definitions > All Reports.

3. Click More > Import.

   The Import Report pane displays.

4. In the File field, drag and drop the .dat report file, or click Browse and select the file.

5. From the Save to Folder dropdown, select the folder to save the report in.

6. Select the Action in Case of Conflict:

   • Keep Current Settings (default)

   • Reject with Error

   • Overwrite

7. Click OK to import the report.
