Here you can enable Report Schedule option and customize the time of the day to send scheduled reports.
You can also set up your email settings by choosing one of the options:
Exchange Online (My Account) – This is the default option for Office 365 administrators. Email containing scheduled reports will be sent via Exchange Online on behalf of the current user. Outgoing Email Server – You can set up existing email server information. Email containing scheduled reports will be sent using the supplied information.
Here you can enable snapshot schedule, so SysKit Security Manager will automatically take snapshots of your environment at the time and date you specify. Only one schedule can be active at a time.
You can choose from two types of schedules:
Entire Environment - creates a full snapshot of your environment. New site collections, Office 365 Groups, Teams and OneDrive accounts will automatically be detected and loaded.
Custom - choose which individual site collections, Office 365 Groups, Teams and OneDrive accounts will be in the snapshot. This option will not run the discovery process on your environment. This is a default schedule type.
By default, the report is scheduled on 8 AM, weekly, recurring on Monday. However, you can adjust it to the time you prefer. You can choose how frequent will the snapshot be performed and depending on the frequency you have selected (weekly or monthly), you will also be able to choose on which day will the snapshot be recurring.
By enabling the collection of Office 365 audit logs, you can find out about the activities of admins and users within your organization.
Please note! By enabling Audit Logs in Settings, you enable the collection of Office 365 audit logs for all connected tenants. In case you want to enable the audit log collection for a specific tenant only, enable the Audit Logs option in the Connect Wizard.
The information about Index Size and the number of events in the belonging index is provided here too.
Also, here you can change the location where all collected audit logs from your tenant will be stored.
If you want to check and edit which activities are going to be collected, click on the Select activities to collect link.
With this option, you can allow Syskit Security Manager to automatically delete old data from its storage. You can allow the application to remove snapshots and/or audit logs that are older than a certain number of days, weeks or months.
By default, SysKit Security Manager service will execute the Data Retention job every day at a random time between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM.
If you enable data retention for Snapshots, Syskit Security Manager will delete every snapshot from the database that is older than a specified date, along with the snapshots you deleted manually in the app.
In case you enable the Audit Logs data retention option, audit logs folders older than a specified date will be deleted.
For audit logs, you must enter your email address in order to be alerted when Syskit Security Manager notices a certain percentage of disk usage. A warning email will be sent in case the disk usage is over 85%.
You will also be alerted via email when Syskit Security Manager stops collecting data if the disk usage reaches a critical limit of 95%.
