A machine includes an engine that includes a plurality of cylinders, one or more controllers, and a monitoring and reporting module. The monitoring and reporting module receives, from the one or more controllers, and via a first data link of the machine, cylinder pressure data associated with the plurality of cylinders and stores the cylinder pressure data in a data structure. The monitoring and reporting module receives, from the one or more controllers, and via a second data link of the machine, operational information associated with the engine and determines, based on the operational information, that one or more trigger criteria are satisfied. The monitoring and reporting module generates, based on determining that the one or more trigger criteria are satisfied, a data file that includes a portion of the cylinder pressure data and transmits the data file to a device not included in the machine.
