Scheduled Report Delivery
NetClaw can deliver reports on a schedule when asked:
| Report | Suggested Cadence | Channel |
|---|
| Fleet health check | Daily 06:00 UTC | #netclaw-reports |
| Security audit | Weekly (Monday) | #netclaw-reports |
| NetBox reconciliation | Weekly (Wednesday) | #netclaw-reports |
| Vulnerability scan | Monthly (1st) | #netclaw-reports |
| Topology validation | Monthly (15th) | #netclaw-reports |
Formatting Guidelines
- Use emoji sparingly — severity indicators only, not decoration
- Tables for structured data — use monospace blocks for alignment
- Thread long outputs — keep top-level messages concise (< 20 lines)
- Attach files for full reports — text files for detailed output, images for diagrams
- Always include timestamps — UTC, ISO format
- Link to ServiceNow CRs — when changes are involved
- Reference GAIT sessions — for audit trail continuity
- Pin important baselines — use bookmarks for reference reports
Comparison with Previous Reports
When delivering a new report, reference the previous one:
:chart_with_upwards_trend: *Health Trend — R1*
_Compared to last check (2024-02-20 14:00 UTC)_
│ Metric │ Previous │ Current │ Trend │
│ CPU 5min │ 10% │ 12% │ :arrow_right: Stable │
│ Memory │ 71% │ 78% │ :arrow_up: +7% │
│ Interfaces │ 4/4 up │ 4/4 up │ :arrow_right: Stable │
│ Ping RTT │ 21ms │ 23ms │ :arrow_right: Stable │
:warning: Memory trending upward — investigate if continues
