Enable reporting for any firewall managed by NSM On-Prem 3.0

NSM 3.0 supports Management and Reporting both but reporting is not enabled for the controller or the agent in NSM 3.0 by default. It needs to be enabled manually.

• NSM On-Prem will offer two new tiers of Reporting and Analytics Licenses: 7 days and 365 days of NSM Reporting and Analytics.
• There is no basic reporting for NSM On-Prem.
• The Reporting and Analytics license for NSM On-Prem is applied per the FW model level.

Steps to Enable reporting for any firewall managed by NSM On-Prem 3.0:

1. Login to NSM On-Prem.

2. Go to Manager View->Firewalls->Inventory, we can see that the Reporting Agent shows Unassigned:

3. Click on Action tab here for the firewall where reporting has to be enabled and click on Edit Settings:

4. Under Edit Settings->Enable Reporting and choose the Reporting agent from the Drop down list and click Save.

We can also choose to auto assign in that case NSM will choose the agent to assign the firewall to any agent based on the load.

CAUTION: If we are adding a factory defaulted firewall or a firewall which was never configured before for reporting and Analytics, the firewall may reboot once to enable AppFlow Reporting
