Saved Filters
Saved filters can be defined that can be added wherever a filter editor appears in the
software. A saved filter allows you to attach a name to, for example, a time-of-day
mask or a filter that selects traffic related to a particular multi-port application or group
of servers.
To create a saved filter, type a name in the box and click “New…”, then use the
provided
Filter Editor to define the filter. You can copy an existing filter by clicking the
icon, and you can change the order in which saved filters appear by clicking the and
icons. To edit or delete a filter click its name.
Scheduled Reports
NetFlow Tracker allows any real-time, long-term or executive report with any to be set
up as a scheduled report that is emailed and/or saved to a configured location on a
schedule. In addition, scheduled reports can be generated on demand if they are
included in the Reports homepage.
• Email server address is the IP address or domain name of the SMTP server used
to send scheduled report emails.
• Send emails from sets the email address that is used as the “From:” address of
mails sent by NetFlow Tracker.
• Save reports to sets the folder where scheduled reports are saved to; this default
can be overridden for any scheduled report.
To create a scheduled report, enter a name and select if the report is a real-time
report, long-term report or executive report and click “New…”. You can also choose
“Custom” as the report type if you want to use a hidden report, You can edit or delete
an existing scheduled report by clicking its name.
The new page that is opened for the scheduled report allows you to control whether
the report is offered for generation on-demand in the
Reports homepage and to supply
a description for use in that page.
The report can be scheduled in five ways:
• Run on demand means that the report will not be automatically generated at all,
and will only appear in the Reports page.
• Run once means that the report will be run once, at the specified time on the date
supplied for “Begin running this schedule on”.
• Run every day will run the report every day at the specified time, starting on the
specified start date and optionally finishing in the specified end date.
• Run every week will run the report on specified days of every week.
• Run every month will run the report on either the specified date of each month, or
on the specified week day (i.e., the first Monday of each month).
If the schedule has an end, you can choose to delete the report (but not the saved
output, if there was any) after the last run of the report. This can be used with the
“Run once” schedule option to run a particularly time-consuming one-off report and
have the results emailed to you.
