Viewing reports

FortiMail units can generate reports either:

  • automatically, according to the schedule that you configure in the report profile
  • manually, when you select a report profile and click Generate

For details, see Configuring report profiles and generating reports.

Once the reports have been generated, you can view and/or download generated reports.

Note

To reduce the amount of disk space consumed by reports, download generated reports and then delete them from the FortiMail unit.

To view reports

  1. If you want to view reports about mailboxes or domain-level mail statistics, purchase the feature license and enable the feature. See Mailbox accounting service and Domain mail statistics.

    By default, their corresponding areas of the GUI are hidden and disabled.

  2. Go to either:

    • Monitor > Report > Mail Statistics
    • Monitor > Report > Mailbox Statistics
    • Monitor > Report > Domain Mail Statistics

    This dropdown list only appears on Monitor > Report > Domain Mail Statistics.
