The event is used to schedule the generation of a report and send or publish the report to specific recipients.
Event settings
The settings for this event is divided into two sections. The first section contains general settings such as which report to generate. With this event you can either schedule the generation of a report template or a customized report, not both.

Selecting objects for a report template
After selecting a report template, you will need to specify what objects to include in the report. When a report template has been selected the following section will be displayed:
Selecting objects and monitors for a report template
To select objects to include in the report, first select the relevant network where the object is located, then select one or more objects from the list and click the "Select" button.

In a similar way, individual monitors can be included in the report. To include a monitor, first select the relevant object from the list and then the monitor. Proceed as when including objects in the report.
