When is hcache automatically built?

Hcache is automatically built for scheduled reports because these reports are run at predetermined intervals or times, which allows the system to pre-generate and store the report data in the cache. This process enhances performance by ensuring that frequently accessed report data is readily available without having to recalculate the information each time the report is requested. The scheduled nature of these reports enables the FortiAnalyzer to manage resources efficiently and deliver results in a timely manner.

In contrast, ad-hoc reports are generated based on user requests at the moment, and while they may utilize caching, they are not built automatically in the same systematic way that scheduled ones are. Explicitly requesting the cache or during server updates does not inherently relate to the automatic generation of cache, emphasizing the distinction between processes that are event-driven versus those that are pre-planned.
