Creating a Security Report

You can obtain security reports to learn about the security status of your assets in a timely manner. CFW sends log reports to you based on the time period and receiving mode you configured.

This section describes how to create a security report.

Constraints

  • Up to 10 security reports can be created for a CFW instance.
  • A security report is retained for only three months. You are advised to periodically download security reports for audit.
  • A custom security report cannot be modified. If you need to modify a custom security report, delete it and create a new one.
