You can schedule reports to run for one or more devices. Each scheduled report can contain multiple reports. WatchGuard Cloud sends scheduled reports as a zipped .PDF email attachment to recipients you specify. Recently generated reports are also available for download in WatchGuard Cloud.

With the exception of the Authentication report, reports that are generated in .CSV format are not available as scheduled reports.

If the generated report is larger than 10 MB, it is not emailed. WatchGuard Cloud stores scheduled report files for a limited time. You can download reports larger than 10 MB while they are available. For more information, go to Download Scheduled Reports.

Scheduled reports are not available for devices with a Standard Support license. For a description of all available reports, go to WatchGuard Cloud Device Reports List.

Add a Scheduled Report for a Firebox or Access Point

You can schedule reports to run daily, weekly, monthly, or immediately. For daily, weekly and monthly reports, the report frequency also determines the date range for data included in the report. For example a weekly report includes data from the most recent 7 day period from Sun 01:00 (Europe/Berlin) until the following Sun 00:59 (Europe/Berlin).

Each scheduled report can contain multiple reports. The Executive Dashboard Report includes the reports from the Executive and Security dashboards. All other reports you can select are equivalent to the .PDF reports available from Monitor > Devices.
