Emailing reports and logs

Tip: In some cases, exported reports show more detailed data than that of the data displayed in the report in the web interface. For example, an exported Excel report may contain more data columns, or a floating data point with higher precision.

To email a report as a PDF:

1. Open the report you want to email.
2. Click Email.
3. Click Email / Schedule Report. The Email Report dialog appears.
4. Click Email Options. Complete the following information:
   • To. The email address of the account receiving the report
   • From. The address that appears as the sender of the report
   • Subject. The subject line appearing in the report email
   • Include url in email. Select to also include the report as a web link
     • Alternate host. When Include url in email is selected, you can choose to alter the way the URL appears to the end user. This is a useful option if users outside of your network need to access the server using a different name or address than the default address of the WhatsUp Gold server.
5. Select the appropriate PDF Options. See Exporting reports and logs for more information.
6. Click Email Server.
7. Enter the following information for the email server:
   • SMTP Server. The name of the mail server
   • SMTP Port number. If necessary, change the SMTP port number. The default value is 25.
   • Timeout. The length of time to retry connecting to the SMTP server before abandoning the attempt
   • Use SMTP authentication. Select this option if the SMTP server requires authentication.
     • Username. The username WhatsUp Gold uses to authenticate to the mail server
     • Password. The password WhatsUp Gold uses to authenticate to the mail server
