Report Center

The Report Center enables you to generate Gateway management reports. These reports display information which helps you analyze the activity of the Clearswift Gateway, detect threat patterns and monitor your security policy.

You can configure and modify reports, creating customized versions which display the data you require. Additionally, you can automate a scheduled report which is emailed or archived at regular intervals.
