Reports

Fortra Cloud Email Protection provides two types of reports:

  • Information about policies, with or without enforcement action, defined in Cloud Email Protection, which are available on the Manage > Reports page.
  • Information about key threat metrics, presented in graphical form, which are available on the Analyze > Executive Summary and Analyze > Threat Trends.

Reports Page

The Reports page shows the summaries of policy events over time. Specifically, how many messages matched each policy during the selected time period? Click the policy name to view the policy configuration in the Policy editor. Click the number of messages (or the horizontal bar) to view the Policy Report for that Policy.

By default, the Policy Report shows the number of matches for the current day. You can expand the timeline by selecting a longer time period on the right. This view can show the trend over time of messages matching that policy. Are more messages matching that policy now? Fewer? Click on the number of messages in the policy report to view the list of messages in the Search Messages results.

Threat Trends and Executive Summary Reports

Both the Threat Trends and Executive Summary report summarize recent data accumulated by Cloud Email Protection.

In the line and bar graph report displays, you can hover over the representation for any date and view a pop-up that contains the detailed data for that date.

You can select a time period for all reports on the page. Choose from:

  • 7 days
  • 2 weeks
  • 1 month
  • Custom (select a start date and an end date)

The aggregate data in the reports does not include data from the current date or from before the date you had data accumulating from your organization. The data displays in the charts as follows:

  • For the 7 days and 2 weeks time periods, each data point represents a full day of data. For example, if you select 7 days, you will see the past 7 full days of data, but no data from today.
  • For the 1 month time period, the data points each represent a full Monday-through-Sunday week of data, starting with the week that began the Monday of the first week. Depending on the day of the week and the number of days in the current month, this means that the first week or the last week may have less than 7 days of data.
  • For custom, If you select a time period from a single day up to 2 weeks, each data point represents a full day of data. If you select a time period of more than 2 weeks, each data point represents a full Monday-through-Sunday week of data. If you set a start date to a date before your organization started accumulating report data, the "Since..." notation at the top of each chart will indicate the earliest date of the data in the chart. Custom date ranges are also "sticky," in that they do not reset when you navigate away from the tab or page, but only when you log out.
