Reviewing and Creating Reports

You can view and modify individual reports from the Reporting area of the Monitoring page in the SharePoint Central Admin tool, as shown in Figure 11.5. From this launching point, a SharePoint administrator can view and modify the settings for administrative reports, diagnostic logs, information management policy usage reports, health reports, usage and health data collection, and web analytics reports.

Reports such as the one shown in Figure 11.6 can give useful information about a site and its usage and can be instrumental in troubleshooting and monitoring a SharePoint farm.
