LevelBlue OSSIM®

LevelBlue USM Appliance includes hundreds of predefined reports to keep you informed about assets, level of compliance, alarms, and security events in your organization. Starting from USM Appliance version 5.2, LevelBlue delivers new reports in threat intelligence updates instead of platform updates, allowing for more frequent updates and improvements on USM Appliance reports. See List of USM Appliance Reports for a complete list of reports.

Report Categories

USM Appliance groups reports into different categories for easy access. The following table summarizes the categories.

Report Modules

The USM Appliance reports consist of two basic components:

• A module defines queries to the database or file system, in order to retrieve the data necessary for table and graph generation.

• A layout defines the graphical aspects of a report, such as logo, header and footer, and color scheme.

You can generate reports based on a combination of several modules and a single layout. By default, USM Appliance contains more than 2,600 modules and one basic layout.

The USM Appliance organizes the report modules into categories. Go to Reports > All Reports > Modules and expand the categories by clicking the green plus sign (+) next to the category name. You can further extend each subcategory, eventually reaching an individual event category in the module.
