Introduction

Email protection reporting provides many tools for profiling and investigating email security and usage. On the toolbar, select Reporting to see all available reporting options.

Reporting allows you to:

• Monitor service performance
• Monitor traffic volumes and patterns for capacity planning purposes
• Enforce your email acceptable use policy
• Isolate and resolve problems

Reporting tools include:

• The Email Dashboard charts provide threat, risk, usage, and system information. For most charts, the time period, chart style, and set of results shown can be customized. You can also select columns or sections on a chart to drill down to the relevant report in the Report Builder.
• The Report Center menu–Report Catalog, Report Builder, Message Details, and Scheduler–offers a set of predefined reports, the ability to create custom reports, a method for digging into message details, and a facility for report scheduling.
• The Legacy Email Reports menu includes reports that were available before Report Center was released, and remain available to support existing customers. This section allows you to generate a set of standard reports, organized by Address, Content, Inbound, Outbound, Virus, Volumes, and Spam. See Legacy Email Reporting.
