Chapter 15: Generating Reports of Network Activity
206 WatchGuard Firebox System
Specifying Report Sections
Use the Sections tab on the Report Properties dialog box to specify the
type of information you want to be included in reports. From Historical
Reports:
1 Click the Sections tab.
2 Enable the checkboxes for sections to be included in the report.
For a description of each section, see “Report Sections and Consolidated Sections”
on page 212.
3 To run authentication resolution on IP addresses, enable the checkbox
marked Authentication Resolution on IP addresses.
If user authentication is not enabled, you will not have the information in your logs
to perform authentication resolution on IP addresses. However, generating a
report when resolution is enabled will take considerably more time.
4 To run DNS resolution on IP addresses, enable the checkbox marked
DNS Resolution on IP addresses.
Consolidating Report Sections
The Sections tab defines the types of information to be included in a
report on each of a group of Fireboxes: a vertical look at the data. You can
also specify parameters that consolidate information for a group of
Fireboxes: a horizontal (cumulative) view of data. To consolidate report
sections:
1 From the Report Properties dialog box, select the Consolidated
Sections tab.
The tab contains a list of report sections that can be consolidated. Brief definitions
of the contents of these sections are available in “Report Sections and
Consolidated Sections” at the end of this chapter.
2 Click the boxes next to the items you want to include in the
consolidated report or click a checked box to clear it.
3 Click OK.
