Periodic Status Reports

The Periodic Status reports are provided to the user automatically, once configured. These reports provide details regarding the status of the underlying network. The underlying network is considered to be the wide area network – MPLS cloud or ISP (internet) cloud, as seen from a Oracle appliance perspective. By default, the status report is not sent. To configure these reports, the user would login to the web console and proceed to Integrate -> Periodic Status Reports page. Configurable options include: details can be turned off or on for each individual Site, WAN link, Conduit, Path, Internet service, and intranet service.

To simplify the configuration process, the “Select All” option may be used, or just select individual items as appropriate. Once defined, the user can preview the report before the actual update is emailed. The email can be sent based on the user defined time criteria

(every day, specific days) as well as defining a specific time of day. There is also a “Send Now” option that can be used to test the capability. For this to work properly, the user must have the “Email Alerts” defined properly in the web console Integrate, and then Configure Events and Alerts section of the web console.

Once emailed, the report would look like Figure 7 below (depending on properties selected).
