Reports
Purpose
- The Reports enables users to manage and access all generated reports
- Reports are collected from all configured collectors and can be downloaded, viewed, or resent via email
- If SMTP settings are configured in the Cockpit and a collector didn't have SMTP, reports will be sent through the Cockpit
