What does it do?
The backend module Administration > Reports
The TYPO3 system extension EXT:reports displays the extendable backend module Administration > Reports for users with administrator role.
The Reports module groups several system reports and gives you a quick overview about important system statuses and site parameters.
Section "Security"
Regularly check the section Security
From a security perspective, the section Security should be checked regularly: it provides information about the administrator user account, encryption key, file deny pattern, module System > Environment checks and more.
Warning
In case of a compromised system, the information displayed here may have been manipulated by the attacker.
Thus, if no problems are pointed out - it does not necessarily mean that there are no security issues. But, on the other hand, if security problems are pointed out, you most certainly should fix them.
Record Statistics
Changed in version 14.0
The record statistics have been moved from module System > Database, provided by the system extension typo3/cms-lowlevel into the module Administration > Reports of this extension typo3/cms-reports .
Backend users with administrator permissions can find this module at Administration > Reports > Records Statistics.
This module gives an overview of the count of records of different types.
The records are counted installation-wide. Soft-deleted (flag deleted = 1)
records are ignored.
Content statistics
New in version 14.2 Feature: #107940 - Introduce report about content type usage
Backend users with administrator permissions can find this module at Administration > Reports > Content Statistics.
The module lists all content element types and how often each type is used. The counts include visible and hidden records. Records that are flagged as deleted are not counted.
The content element types and how often they are used
The list is grouped by the groups of the content element types. The section Unused content elements lists the types that no record uses, or whose records are all deleted. For a type with deleted records, the number of deleted records is shown. Use this section to find content element types that you can remove from the configuration.
A type that has records is not necessarily shown on a page. A record can be stored on a page that is not rendered, and content can also be rendered by TypoScript or Fluid. The module cannot detect such usage.
Fields of a content element type
Expand a content element type to see its fields. For each field the list shows:
- The field type, for example
inputorselect - Always visible: the field is not an exclude field, so backend user groups cannot be denied access to it
- Required: the field must have a value
