Email reports¶
Once an email server has been configured, email reports can be used to provide access to network information via any recipient’s inbox.
Hint
Email reports also include a link to view the report in the Plixer Scrutinizer web interface. PDF and/or CSV copies of the report may also be attached.
On-demand email reports
After any report is run, an email report can immediately be sent by selecting Email Report in the export tray and entering the following details:
Sender email address
Recipient email address (comma-delimited if multiple)
Subject (optional)
Message (optional)
After clicking Send, a message confirming that the email report has been sent will be displayed.
Scheduled email reports
Scheduled email reports are re-run (using the exact same configuration) and sent to specified recipients at regular intervals. When a Last X time window is defined, scheduled reports can be used to continuously monitor any type of network metadata from any email inbox.
Important
A report must be saved before it can be configured as a scheduled report.
Note
Scheduled email reports covering a custom time window (i.e., specific dates and times) will send either the same or no output when they are re-run.
Scheduled reports can be set up by selecting Schedule Report in the export tray and entering the following details:
A name for the scheduled report (used as the email subject line and for scheduled report management)
Recipient email address (comma-delimited if multiple)
Frequency and exact minute on the hour that the report should be re-run and emailed
Additional reports may also be added to the scheduled report configuration by selecting them from the list. These reports will also be re-run and displayed in the same email.
Afterwards, click Save to save the scheduled report configuration. Scheduled reports will continue to be re-run and sent out as configured until the scheduled report configuration is disabled or deleted.
Hint
Scheduled report configurations can be edited or disabled from the Admin > Reports > Scheduled Email Reports page.
