Watch Report

Overview

Use these options to generate a CSV report showing either user or watch details. The report will include details for the folder currently selected in the Network Explorer tree and any subfolders.

Flow watches in Admin watch report

The watch report also shows all Flow watches and when the Last Good Sample was received. Thus this report can be run to confirm that Flow watches are still working as expected; and to identify any that are not, for Flow troubleshooting purposes.
