  2. In the left pane, click the desired report.

  3. In the right pane, specify any filters.

  1. Click Show Report. The ARM connects to the auditing database and displays the data in the report window.

The ARM displays the first page of the report as soon as the data is ready, then continues to load additional pages. You can monitor the progress of loading by watching the current page/total pages indicator on the report filter bar.



If you want to stop a report from loading, click another report in the left-hand navigation tree. This will cancel the loading of the displayed report.
