Event Management and Troubleshooting
Integrated event management helps enable the viewing of real-time and historical events for rapid incident analysis
and troubleshooting and provides rapid navigation from events to source policies. In addition, administrators can
quickly identify and isolate interesting events by using advanced filtering and search capabilities. Cross-linkages
between the Event Manager and Configuration Manager reduce troubleshooting time for firewall rules and intrusion
prevention system (IPS) signatures (see Figure 3).

Reporting
Security Manager generates detailed system reports based on events and other essential information gathered
throughout the security deployment (Figure 4). Table 1 lists the available system reports. In addition, administrators
can define and save predefined reports to meet specific reporting needs. Whether system-generated or predefined,
all reports can be exported and scheduled for email delivery as PDF or CSV files. Users can also find more detail
from a specific chart to view additional information for further analysis.
