Reports

Seer Box allows to generate detailed reports regarding its monitoring and detection capabilities.

These reports can be configured to be produced for the entire set of domain groups or for a specific subsets of them, depending on the user's needs. The system also provides the flexibility to generate ad hoc reports or to schedule them at multiple periodic cadences, which can be customized according to one's preferences, as well as to send them automatically to one or more configured email addresses.

Schedule management​

Report schedules allow you to schedule and configure the generation of reports. Only users in the admins group or users belonging to a group with permission related to report management (Handle reports) are allowed to manage a schedule. Users in the admins group will be able to view and manage all schedules created. Other users, on the other hand, will only be able to view and manage their own schedules.
