Our website monitoring Reporting Cards
provides external, customizable, and summary reports of the monitoring devices, which can be accessed outside of the Dotcom-Monitor service. Reporting Cards provide the current status of the device, as well as the daily, weekly and monthly statistics of its performance and uptime.

Security:
	Website Monitoring Report Cards are secured by several means (discussed below), and unless specifically exposed by the service owner, are unavailable to the general public. In order to make reports accessible outside of Dotcom-Monitor service, the service owner must "enable" the report.
Access:
	Once the web site monitoring report is enabled, it is assigned a global unique identifier (GUID) like such as "B5BB0BEEA67E47648F27B5F634EDD75C". This randomized GUID makes it virtually impossible to find a report, unless it is specifically shared or published where it can be viewed.

There are two types of website monitoring and network monitoring reports available:

"Dashboard Report Card"
	also known as a "Brief Report" provides an easy overview of all the devices you monitor. Click here for an example. The report shows the time when the device was last monitored, location that last performed last the check and the status of the device. If a failure in the device is detected, the failure will be displayed in red at the top of the report. Usage: The report page self-refreshes every 30 seconds and can run constantly in the background if you so choose. This report card is primarily used by system operators or network administrators in order to monitor the status of their infrastructure on one simple screen. Also, it is nice link to have to check overall health of the system in case of alert.
"Detailed Report"
	provides summary information about a specific device. Click here for an example. Each report can be configured to display the following items: Uptime/Downtime charts and numbers, performance data, and historical information based on daily, weekly and monthly intervals. Click here for a screenshot. These reports are often placed in a publicly viewable area of a web site, in order to demonstrate to end users that your website(s) receives monitoring by an independent third party. These reports let you demonstrate the reliability of your website and service uptime and performance. The result is added your end users value your service more and view it as credible and reliable. Usage: Specifically for an independent Service Provider (ISP) the publicly viewable "Detailed Report" it can be placed along with your Control Panel and in order to show customers the actual website uptime as calculated by an independent third party monitoring service.
