Overview
The system generates three types of reports.
-
System Information reports provide specific information on how the system is configured or programmed. Information reports are discussed in System Information Reports.
-
Statistics reports cover how system resources are used and are discussed in Statistics Reports.
-
Billing reports provide a breakdown of charges for individual mailboxes by statistic and calculate the total amount due. These reports are discussed in Billing Reports.
The Web Console provides only a subset of these reports because much of the information is easily viewed in the Web Console interface. Web Console reports can be printed, or downloaded in text or .csv file format.
The Text Console provides numerous reports that can be viewed at the console or printed to a file.
Viewing Reports on the Text Console
Reports can be directed to the console or to a serial port; they can be displayed, saved, or printed. When you run each report, the system prompts you to choose a report destination. Choose from the following options:

C | to display the report on the console without pausing. |
P | to display the report on the console and pause as the screen fills. |
1 | (no longer used) |
2 | (no longer used) |
F | to send the report to a file on the system. |
A | to append the report to an existing file on the system. |
X | to exit report output options (no report). |
