Configure a report​

In the Create a report page, choose a name for your report. The name will be shown as the email subject or Slack heading.

Write a description that will be included in the message body. The description should provide some context for why recipients are receiving the report.

Select a dashboard and time range​

In the form, under Which dashboard to send, select a dashboard from the dropdown list.

Next, select the time range for the dashboard. Under For this time range, select the time frame in minutes/hours/days. Your time range can be anything from 1 minute to 30 days.

Set the schedule​

Use the Cron scheduler to specify when reports are sent and set the desired time zone for accurate timing

You can use an online tool such as the Quartz Cron Expression Generator to easily translate your requirements into a cron expression. The scheduler can be used to set up advanced schedules, like the last day of every month, or the last Thursday of the month at a specific hour.

Select your recipients​

You can send the report to users via email or Slack. To add a Slack channel, click the dropdown list to select from available options. To add an email address, type it in and press Enter to include it on the list.

Add custom logo & sharing link​

Your report can include a direct link to view a live dashboard in Logz.io with the relevant data. This option is enabled by default, and recipients will need to log in to Logz.io to see it. Disable this option by unchecking the box.

Admins can add custom logos to the reports. When the report is emailed, the custom logo will appear in the email body and the PDF header. To upload the logo, navigate to General Settings > Logo for reports.

Here's an example of what the report email might look like. A represents the custom logo, and B shows the link to the live dashboard:
