Click the Manager tab from the Manager Home page.
Select <Admin Domain Name> → Reporting → Configuration Reports → Faults.
Specify the following to narrow down the scope of your report:
Fault Source — Select Sensor and/or Manager to find faults on your Sensor and/or Manager, respectively.
Admin Domain — Select an admin domain on which to run the report. This is enabled only if the selected Fault Source is Sensor.
Note
The admin domain selected in the left pane has no impact on the reports generated. The Admin Domain drop-down list is explicitly to filter the reports that are generated.
Include Child Admin Domains — If you have selected Include Child Admin Domains, Sensors in the child admin domains of the selected admin domain are also displayed. This is enabled only if the selected Fault Source as Sensor.

Custom time period —Enables you to select and view specific faults between a Start Time and End Time (you can specify both the date and time and click Apply)
Note
Faults with creation date previous to the Start Time may get displayed too, implying that the particular fault had occurred before the begin data and re-occurred again between the Start Time and End Time.
Select the Report Format
Organized by — Specify how you want the information to be organized in the report. Choices are Severity, Fault Name, Sensor, or Create Time. For example, if you choose Severity, then the information is organized by fault name in the reverse alphabetical order. Create Time is the fault generation time.
