About the Reports Plugin

The Reports plugin allows you to generate reports with real-time and trending information about:

  • Policies
  • Host compliance status
  • Vulnerabilities
  • Device details
  • Assets
  • Network guests

This plugin is a component of the Forescout eyeSight (formerly Forescout Platform or CounterAct) Core Extensions Module.

Use reports to keep network administrators, executives, the Help Desk, IT teams, security teams, or other enterprise teams well-informed about network activity.

Reports can help you understand:

  • Long-term network compliance progress/trends
  • Immediate security needs
  • Compliance with policies
  • Status of a specific policy
  • Network device statistics

Handling Reports

You can create reports and view them immediately, save them, or generate schedules to ensure the automatic and consistent reporting of network activity and detections. For details about managing reports, refer to Manage Reports.

Reports can be viewed and printed as either PDF or CSV files. You can use any language supported by your operating system to generate reports.

Overlapping IP Address Support

The Reports plugin supports reporting information about networks that use overlapping IP addresses. For example, when preparing a report, if the selected IP address segment is assigned an IP Reuse Domain (IRD), the plugin report includes only those network devices whose IPv4 address is located within that IP Reuse Domain (IRD). For details about enabling and configuring the 's support of overlapping IP address use in an enterprise's network, refer to the Forescout Working with Overlapping IP Addresses How-to Guide.
