How Does SRA Reporting Work?

Syslog information for SonicWALL remote appliances is sent to the GMS syslog collector and uploaded to the Reports Database by the summarizer. The frequency of upload is nearly real-time: data is uploaded to the Reports database as soon as the Syslog Collector closes the file. The file is closed and ready for upload as soon as it reaches 10,000 MB per file or if the file has been open for three minutes, whichever comes first.

This database is saved using a date/time suffix, and contains tables full of data for each appliance. All the syslog data received by SonicWALL GMS is available in the database.

SRA Reporting supports scheduled reports to be sent on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis to any specified email address.
