An engineer has been asked to show application usages automatically on a monthly basis and send the information to management. What mechanism should be used to accomplish this task?

An event viewer shows raw events in real-time or historical logs, but typically doesn't aggregate, format, or automatically send summarized reports.

Reports in Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) or similar security platforms allow administrators to define specific data sets, schedule their generation on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly), and often configure them for automated email delivery to stakeholders like management.

Dashboards provide real-time or near real-time visual summaries, but are primarily for interactive viewing rather than scheduled, automated distribution of detailed reports.

Context Explorer provides detailed drill-down views of specific events or connections, which is useful for investigation, but not for automated, summary-level reporting to management.
