Why are there no reports?

The View page only shows reports that have been previously run by the report scheduler. Check the Sentinel:Schedule page to see if any reports have been scheduled. If reports have been recently scheduled then they may not have been run yet and you will need to wait until they are run by the scheduler before you can view them.

How can I extract data from a report?

When viewing a report you will notice small TXT, HTML and possibly Image links below each chart and table in the report. Click on the TXT button to get a text version of the data (in comma separated value format). Click on the HTML link to access the data as an HTML table. Click on the Image button to access the the chart image.

Copy the URL associated with the data if you want to import data into other tools (such as Excel or Perl). If you were viewing the report with Time=Latest then the URL will always return the latest version of the data.
