In this blog post, we’ll explore the power of custom branding in NetEye reports.
The reporting module offers the ability to filter specific hosts and services while also enabling the configuration of custom thresholds to visually emphasize unmet SLAs. Users have the flexibility to generate reports manually or automatically, such as on a weekly or monthly basis. These reports are subsequently delivered as PDF attachments via email.
To enhance your reports, you can easily customize their appearance using custom templates. This feature is particularly valuable when sharing reports with your customers. This means that you can incorporate your organization logos, color schemes, and other brand elements into the report layout.
Instructions for Leveraging Reporting Templates
When it comes to using these reporting templates, there are several essential steps worth highlighting:
Accessing Reports Templates: Start by accessing the available report templates from Reporting – Reports – Templates
Customizing Report Template Parameters: Create and customize one or more templates customizing Cover Page, Header and Footer settings
Generating Reports: Once configured, you can select an existing template to generate comprehensive reports based on your selected parameters
Template example
Details of a Template
Cover Page Settings
The cover page serves as the initial introduction to your report. You have the flexibility to precisely tailor its appearance by adjusting various settings:
Background Image: This image will serve as the backdrop, ranging from a solid color to an intricate background image
Logo: A central visual element for the cover page
Title: Customize a unique title for the report, positioned just below the logo
Color: Select a specific color scheme for the title
Header and Footer Settings
The header and footer are divided into three columns (left, center, right), each of which can be customized with specific properties to personalize your report:
Text: Enter any desired text freely
Image: Incorporate an image, such as a scaled-down version of your logo
Variable: Utilize built-in variables that render dynamically based on the current state:
Report Title: The specified title used in the “Cover Page Settings”
Time Frame: The time frame configured in the report (e.g., Last Month, Last Year, …)
Time Frame (absolute): The resolved exact time frame of the report
Page Number: Current page number
Total Number of Pages: Total pages based on the size of the report
Date: Date when the report was generated
These elements contribute towards creating a polished and informative presentation of your data and insights within the report.
How to use templates
After creating the templates, it’s possible to assign them to one or more existing reports.
Finally, it’s possible to generate or schedule the delivery of a report that will include the selected template.
