Build a custom Web Protection Report
There may be times when you need to generate a custom Web Protection report. For example, you may need to list all devices that have accessed a specified website or category type, or you may need to list all the available data for an individual device.
Due to data privacy considerations, you may prefer not to display the visited URLs in the Web tab or Web Protection Reports for your clients. If this is the case, contact your N-sight RMM account manager who will disable this option and display anonymized data for your account. In certain regions, the URL data is turned off by default in accordance with local privacy laws.
To build a custom Web Protection Report:
- On the N-sight RMM Dashboard, go to Reports > Web Protection Reports > Web Protection Report Builder
The Report Builder displays.
- Select the target Client, Site, and Device
- Select a time Period or a Date Range
