Reporting Engine Output Actions Tab
Reporting Engine Output Actions Tab
You can configure output actions for a Reporting Engine to determine the format you want the data to be presented to you based on your requirements. The service configuration parameters are available in the Output Actions tab of the Services Config view configured for a report or an alert execution. This tab consists of the following panels:
- NetWitness Configuration
- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- Syslog
- Simple File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
- Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
- Network Share
For instance, Syslog output action is used specifically for Reporting Engine Alerts, whereas, SFTP, URL, and Network Share output action is used specifically for Reporting Engine Reports.
You can configure the required permission to access this view in Manage Services.
You must ensure that the Reporting Engine is up and running and the data source from which you want to generate a report is configured in the NetWitness.
