Part 6: Reports
This article describes the different methods to pull data and create reports from FortiMonitor. The following options are available:
-
Canned reports
-
Scheduled reports
-
Ad-hoc reports
In addition, you can also download any previously generated report from the Report History page.
Canned reports
Canned reports are pre-configured reports that can be generated on-demand or on a recurring basis. Once a report is generated, it will be sent to the email address you selected while creating the report. You also have the option to add other FortiMonitor or external users as recipients to the report. Similarly, several configuration options are available when generating a canned report. For more information, see Canned reports.
The following table describes the available canned reports in FortiMonitor.

Scheduled reports
When creating any of the canned reports, you also have the option to create recurring or scheduled reports. You can view all of your recurring reports on the Canned Reports page under the Scheduled Reports tab.
There are several options available when creating a scheduled report, including recipients of the report, and the cadence or how often a report is generated. Similar to canned reports, the configuration options vary depending on the type of report you choose. To schedule a report, see Create a report.
Report history
The Report History tab displays all the previously generated reports for your infrastructure. You can download a copy of any of the reports by selecting Download.
Ad-hoc reports
From the Incident History page, you can generate a report on any incident that occurred in your infrastructure. To do so, select one or more incidents then select Export > Download Summary. There are also several filters available to refine the list of incidents displayed on the page.
