At what time are scheduled reports executed on the firewall?

Scheduled reports on the Palo Alto firewall are typically executed at 2 AM. This timing is chosen as it usually falls outside of regular business hours, minimizing the potential impact on network performance and ensuring that the reports are generated when there is likely to be less traffic to analyze.

Choosing this specific time for report generation allows administrators to receive fresh data that reflects the activities and events from the previous day, providing the insights needed for effective network monitoring and security management. This routine scheduling helps ensure that the reports are available by the time administrators begin their daily tasks, allowing for timely analysis and decision-making based on the firewall's performance and security status.

Other times mentioned, such as midnight, 4 AM, and 6 AM, do not align with the standard practice of scheduling within the Palo Alto environment, which is why they are not the correct answer.
