Example: Using Administrative Reports to Track Incidents

You can generate a Quick Report from data displayed in the Log Viewer or Log Investigator.
Use the Quick Report tab located at the bottom of the Log Viewer or Log Investigator
module to display a count-based custom report called a Quick Report, as shown in Figure
115 on page 799.

From the Quick Report screen, you can further set report options using the pull-down
menus provided to define the report. You can then save the report as a custom report.
The following examples describe typical use cases for the reports in NSM.
In this example, firewall administrators use the Log Viewer to monitor and investigate
log events. They are specifically interested in configuration changes that are causing
outages sporadically throughout the network. When they encounter a configuration log
that seems out of the ordinary, they flag the log by using the predefined flag type
"Investigate". To flag a log entry, right-click on the log and select Flag > Investigate from
the drop down menu.
After completing their investigation, they change the flag to either "Closed" or "Assigned"
for further investigation. During normal operations, firewall administrators investigate
over 200 log entries per day.
