Deleting a report filter
To remove a filter from the list of available filters, highlight the filter.
Click Delete. This command removes the
.ftr file from the \report-
defs
directory.
Applying a report filter
Each report can use only one filter. To apply a filter, open the report
properties. From Historical Reports:
1 Select the report for which you would like to apply a filter. Click Edit.
2 Use the Filter drop list to select a filter.
Only filters created using the Filters dialog box appear in the Filter drop list. For
more information, see “Creating a new report filter” on page 210.
3 Click OK.
The new report properties are saved to the ReportName.rep file in the report-defs
directory. The filter will be applied the next time the report is run.
Scheduling and Running Reports
WatchGuard offers two methods to run reports: manually at any time or
scheduled automatically using the WatchGuard Security Event Processor
(WSEP).
Scheduling a report
You can schedule the WSEP to automatically generate reports about
network activity. To schedule reports:
1 Right-click the WSEP desktop tray icon. Select WSEP Status/
Configuration.
2 Click the Reports tab.
3 Select a report to schedule.
4 Select a time interval.
For a custom interval, select Custom and then enter the interval in hours.
5 Select the first date and time the report should run.
The report will run automatically at the time selected and then at each selected
interval thereafter.
