Solution	Before configuring the local reports, it needs to be enabled from System -> Feature Visibility -> Local Reports. The local Reports tab will now be available under Log & Reports -> Local Reports. To configure the scheduled email report: Use Fortinet's default SMTP server. Note: the commands below should be executed in a global VDOM: config system email-server     set server "fortinet-notifications.com"     set port 465     set security smtps end Configure the sender address for alert emails. config alertemail setting     set username "DoNotReply@fortinet-notifications.com    --> If using default SMTP server. end Configure report schedule in Log & Report -> Local Reports -> Report Schedule.   If the email is not received, troubleshooting will be based on Troubleshooting Tip: Email alert. Run the alertmail debug: diag debug reset diag debug disable diag debug console timestamp enable diag debug application alertmail -1 diag debug enable In Log & Report -> Local Reports -> Generate Now. When using the default Fortinet SMTP server, the email alert debug log may indicate that the email was sent successfully, even if the email is not received: 2024-09-02 12:16:15 <== send mail success, m = 0x963e590 s = 0x9640380 In such cases, verify that the username under the alert email settings is correctly set to 'DoNotReply@fortinet-notifications.com' as this setting is required for proper operation when using the default SMTP server.
