Reporting

Windows File Share Monitor generates reports that give you a user-based, client-based, or server-based perspective on Windows file share activity. For example, you can generate a report that shows you all files that were deleted from a given file share on network, or a report that shows you all files deleted by a specific user.

Each report is presented in a summary format, with filtering to enable you to see activity associated with individual users or servers, and drill-down capability to enable you to view more detailed information on the activity that interests you. See the Screenshots page for some examples.

Windows File Share Monitor comes with a set of pre-configured reports that provide data for common network and system administration scenarios. You can also create custom reports to meet your own requirements.

The reports offer the following sorting, filtering, and drilldown options:
