| Trend Reports | View trends of bandwidth usage, protocol usage, and events generated |
All the above reports can be accessed from the Reports tab. Except the Live Report, all other reports include
links to several sections of the report which can be seen when the icon, or the report bar itself is clicked. Click on each section to go

DNS Resolution in Reports
Firewall Analyzer provides an option to configure DNS resolution for all the reports. For more details refer Configuring DNS Resolution page under the System Settings section.
In each of the individual reports a ResolveDNS link has been provided at the top. Clicking this link enables DNS Resolution for all the IP Addresses of the unresolved hosts present in the current report. The status of DNS Resolution depends on the default DNS lookup time, within which Firewall Analyzer will try to resolve the IP Address. If DNS Resolution is in progress for any other Firewall Analyzer user, then the subsequent user will see the message "Please wait, DNS Resolution in progress for another user" when clicking ResolveDNS link. Once the DNS Resolution is complete for the first user, then the DNS Resolution for the subsequent user begins automatically.
