50 Barracuda Link Balancer Administrator’s Guide
The Report Options section allows you to choose the criteria for compiling the report data, as well as
layout and output options. You can define a time frame for the report, select the interface links and
VPN tunnels to include, and choose to analyze inbound traffic, outbound traffic, or both. It is also
possible to select a layout for the graphical charts (available are lines, horizontal or vertical bars, or
pie charts) as well as one of the offered output formats HTML, PDF, plain text, or comma-separated
CSV.
Trend graphs can be selected to be included into the report as well as a choice of activity log
summaries.
After making your choices, you may either execute report generation at once by saving the screen
now, or you may schedule it for later and/or repeating execution by filling in the fields in the
Schedule
Report
section. There, you start by filling in a report group name, followed by selecting your delivery
options where you may either choose e-mail as the transport method, or an external server for FTPing
or SMBing it. If you choose the latter, you will see a couple more fields in which you must provide
the external server’s IP address or hostname and the user credentials.
Once a report was scheduled, it will be listed in the
Scheduled Reports section below from where it
can be edited, disabled or deleted.
Viewing System Tasks
Go to the Advanced > Task Manager page to see a list of tasks that are in the process of being
performed and any errors encountered when performing these tasks. Background tasks include
firmware download and configuration restoration.
Note: If any VPN information was selected to be included with the report, the report can not
be scheduled or executed without adding at least one VPN tunnel.
