Reports settings

Use the report settings to specify the criteria for building a report. Not all settings are available for every report type.

The report settings can consist of the following settings:

Date/Time range

Specify the time period that you want the report to encompass. By default, the start time is one day before the report is run, and the end time is the time the report is run.

Select Earliest available to include the earliest possible data available.

Select Current time to include all the data until the present.

To set the date and time for all reports, click Set Defaults.

The Clean-up host property, Keep logs, determines the period of time for which the information is available.

Default time settings

Change the default time settings to settings that you use most frequently to run reports:
