Cellular and inventory reports
Use Reports to gather information about a gateway's data and metrics, such as cellular data usage and strength or the gateway inventory. Reports are generated in the csv format.
For example, the Cellular Usage report provides information about the gateways' signal strength and cellular usage. The Inventory report includes detailed information about the gateway device attributes.
Reports can be generated one-time (non-recurrence) or periodically (recurrence).
