Generating a Predefined Report

Creating a Custom Report

Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
To generate a predefined report, click that report from the Report Manager. The report
is generated according to its default report settings. You can set different report options
to further tailor your reports to your specific needs. See "Setting Report Options" on
page 796 for more information.
Both system administrators and read-only administrators can create custom reports
based on their own reporting requirements.
You can also use an existing predefined report as the basis for a custom report by
generating that report and saving it as custom report. You can use the same process to
copy reports.
NOTE: All System Administrators, including those assigned a Read-Only role, can create
and run their own reports.

Example: Creating a Custom Report

Suppose, for example, that you are a security administrator responsible for monitoring
and protecting the corporate DMZ network. A Top Attacks report comes predefined in
IDP, but the report displays attacks on the entire network, and you are interested only in
the DMZ.
To create a custom report based on a predefined report:
In the objects component, configure a network object called Corporate DMZ Network
1.
and add all the IP addresses located in the DMZ.
Using the Top Attacks report, use Save As to rename the report "Top DMZ Attacks".
2.
You can also click the Save As icon on the toolbar or use the Ctrl-S keyboard shortcut.
In Columns for Report, select Destination Address.
3.
In the Log Filter tab, select to filter on only those destination addresses defined in
4.
the Corporate DMZ network object.
In the General tab, under Other Parameters use the Save Report In field to select
5.
My Reports and then edit Others to "My DMZ Reports".
Click OK.
6.
NSM creates the new report and displays it in a new folder called My DMZ Reports folder
under My Reports.
NOTE: You cannot create a subfolder under the first level of custom report folders.
