Reporting service

In this topic, you will learn what is the Portnox™ Cloud reporting service and how to download and/or schedule different types of reports.

Portnox Cloud comes with a reporting service that lets you schedule and automatically send reports via e-mail and/or generate ad-hoc reports. You can create the following types of reports:

  • Organizational devices daily report: This report contains main KPIs related to the devices, such as device access, operating systems, geographical distribution, and device status changes. This report is available on a daily schedule only.

  • Security compliance report: This report lists organizational devices that are associated with high-risk events. For each of these devices, the report shows the violations contributing to the high risk score, and the resultant risk score. This report is available on a daily schedule only.

  • Organizational expiring certificates report: This report lists devices with certificates that are going to expire in the next month. You can generate this report ad-hoc and send it via email or download it, or you can schedule it on a weekly basis to be sent by e-mail.

  • Organizational guests utilization report: This report contains information about the utilization of the guest network, if enabled. You can generate this report ad-hoc and send it via email or download it, or you can schedule it for any number of days of the month.
