5 Endpoint Encryption Reporting Endpoint Encryption Reporting The Endpoint Encryption Reporting application allows administrators to quickly create and run a number of reports on Endpoint Encryption users, machines and encryption configurations. Each report can be produced in three different formats: a simple table, a graphical xml layout or a comma-separated file. See the How to Create and Run Reports section for examples of each format. The first step in creating a report is to specify a configuration. This is done via a set of wizard screens. The configuration determines what the report will contain and what format it will take. After setting the criteria for the report, the administrator can easily generate it and view the output. Starting the Endpoint Encryption Reporting application The Endpoint Encryption Reporting Tool is installed as part of the Management Center installation. It sits within the McAfee Endpoint Encryption Manager option on the Programs menu. 1. Click on Start Programs McAfee Endpoint Encryption Manager Endpoint Encryption Reporting to start the application. 2. Logon using the administration logon. The Endpoint Encryption Reports window will appear. Endpoint Encryption Reports Machines Assigned Users Report The Machines Assigned Users Report provides an overview of which users have access rights to which machines. This report can be generated by specifying all machine groups or just particular groups. You can do this by using the wildcard filter: for example, use the asterix character (*) to match any number of characters in a machine name, e.g. PC_P*, or, the question mark character (?) to match just one character, e.g. P?. 5

19 How to Create and Run Reports How to Create and Run Reports This chapter describes the process of creating and running reports using the Endpoint Encryption Reporting Tool. The procedures for creating and running a report are the same across the board. For certain reports, there are some minor variations, e.g. the addition of dates or the selection of particular events (Users Event Audit Report, Users Recovery Event Report, Machine Recovery Event Report). The first stage is to create the configuration to determine what data the report should contain and what format it should be in, e.g. Comma Separated Values, Simple Table or XML. When you have created the report configuration, the next step is to generate it. This chapter describes the steps to follow when creating and running a report. It uses the examples of the Users Admin Level Report, Machines Encryption Status Report, Machine Status Report and the Machines by Group report to demonstrate report configuration and generation. It also includes examples of the different output types that are available. The Users Admin Level Report The Users Admin Level report lists the administration level of all, or, a specified group of users. The data contains the Endpoint Encryption User ID and includes the user name and administration level. Creating the Report Configuration Before running this and any other report, you must first create a report configuration. This allows you to specify the criteria for the Users Admin Level report, e.g. the minimum-security level number, the user group, etc. 1. Click on Start Programs McAfee Endpoint Encryption Manager Endpoint Encryption Reporting to start the application. 2. Logon using the Endpoint Encryption Administration user name and password. The Endpoint Encryption Reports window will appear. 3. Right-click on the Users Admin Level Report option in the left hand pane. 4. Select the Create Report Configuration option. The Report Configuration wizard will start. 5. Enter a name for the report and a meaningful description. Click Next. 6. The next screen asks you to specify a set of named users, or, all users: 19
