Understanding the vGW Series Reports Module
The Reports module of the vGW Security Design VM allows you to create automated reports and modify them, and view the results when a report is generated.
The Reports module includes the following tabs:
- Add/Edit Reports
You use this tab to create reports. By default, the Add/Edit Reports Tab screen table is empty. After you create one or more reports, they appear in the table.
- Recent Reports
The Recent Reports tab displays a table containing previously created reports. To open a report, double-click the desired report in the list. You can open it as a PDF file, or you can save it to the hard drive.
![]() | Note: To display a report as a PDF file, a PDF viewer must be installed on the system. |
Reports are formatted with a high-level header that includes the report name and the date the report was created.
You can create the following types of reports by selecting them in the Report Selection section when you create a report specification:
- Executive Summary
The Executive Summary report provides a broad view of security and performance reports across all of the vGW Security Design VM modules.
- Firewall
The Firewall report contains the top accepted and rejected connections processed by vGW Series firewalls.
- Network Activity
The Network Activity report provides a summary of network usage, including the most active VMs and top protocols observed on the virtual network.
- Security
Security Report
- Introspection
The Introspection report provides details on the applications installed on the selected VMs, and it provides a breakdown of operating systems used. It also provides an Image Enforcer report that is generated when VMs are compared to a Gold Image, which is a valid and desirable template or VM.
- Compliance
The Compliance report provides a detailed status view of all compliance label groupings.
- AntiVirus

In addition to these report types, you can also create custom reports.
