The Scheduled Reports feature in Zenarmor allows you to automatically generate and deliver customized reports to specified email recipients at scheduled intervals.

By configuring scheduled email reports, organizations can regularly monitor network activity, traffic patterns, application usage, and other network insights without manually generating reports.

You can customize each report by selecting the charts to include, specifying email recipients, and configuring the delivery schedule.

With Scheduled Reports, you can:

  • Automate Report Delivery: Schedule reports to be sent automatically to designated email recipients.
  • Customize Report Content: Select the charts and network statistics that are most relevant to your organization.
  • Configure Report Criteria: Customize supported charts using metrics such as sessions, packets, or traffic volume.
  • Manage Multiple Recipients: Add email recipients who should receive the scheduled reports.
  • Set Delivery Schedules: Configure the delivery time, reporting period, and timezone.

To access the Scheduled Reports settings, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Zenconsole account.
  2. Navigate to Settings → Organization Settings in the left-hand navigation menu.
  3. Select Scheduled Reports.

The Scheduled Email Reports page displays the scheduled reports configured for your organization.
