Overview
With reports, you can track various activities within the system, and export the report to your local machine. You can also set up recurring reports. Use the Reports page in the administrative web portal to generate these reports.
Use Case
Reports can be used to help monitor important events, or even support billing tasks. For example, you can create a Storage Usage report to view data usage details, or a User Account report to count user accounts.
For an example on how to use reports to monitor machine health information, please reference the Use Case--How to Filter Reports Knowledge Base article.
