Also known as "soak testing", endurance testing focuses on time and throughput. This type of testing normally has the objective of finding memory leaks in the application. Endurance testing applies volume over a significant period of time in order to discover how the system responds during sustained load. It is common for a web application to behave as expected under load for a 30 minutes, but when tested for 5 hours certain memory or CPU issues begin to appear.

So in the report, there should be result data for both CPU and memory utilization by various processes running and identify the bottlenecks. The report also benchmarks the findings with the previous endurance tests done.

Endurance testing is nothing but smoke testing this is noting but applying the desired load for more time and monitoring weather it is behaving properly or not.
