20.2 Vantage Report in Vantage CNM
Vantage Report in Vantage CNM is a special release for Vantage CNM only. No additional
license is required to use it. Vantage Report in Vantage CNM generally supports the
capabilities available in the professional version of standalone Vantage Report, including drill-
down reports, reverse DNS lookup, web usage by category, anti-virus, anti-spam, and HTML
reports by e-mail. See
Appendix A on page 341 for additional specifications.
Vantage Report in Vantage CNM does not have a separate web interface, so you have to use
Vantage CNM to configure Vantage Report and to look at reports. This is illustrated below.
Figure 168 Vantage Report and Vantage CNM Architecture
The Vantage Report server can be installed on the same machine as Vantage CNM or on a
different machine. You can also set up multiple instances of Vantage Report in one instance of
Vantage CNM (not shown in
Figure 168 on page 294 ), but every instance of Vantage Report
shares the same global configuration, SMTP settings, and list of customized services in
Vantage CNM.
20.3 Setting Up Vantage Report in Vantage CNM
Follow these steps to set up each instance of Vantage Report and the devices that use it.
1 Install the Vantage Report server on a Windows or Linux system. The Vantage Report
software for Vantage CNM is in the same package as the Vantage CNM software.
2 Click CNM System Setting > VRPT Management > Add. Configure the Vantage
Report instance in Vantage CNM, and select the devices that should send log messages
to the Vantage Report instance. See
Section 21.6 on page 306 .
When you click Apply, Vantage CNM automatically configures the selected devices to
send log messages to the specified Vantage Report instance. It does not change any
settings for log categories or traffic statistics.
3 Click CNM System Setting > Configuration > Log Setting for each device. Make sure
the desired log categories are selected and that traffic statistics are sent to the Vantage
Report server. Refer to Vantage Report 3.1 User’s Guide for more information.
