CHAPTER 5 129
Using F-Secure Policy Manager Console
Figure 5-23 Alert Forwarding table
Information alerts and warning-level alerts are, by default, not sent to
F-Secure Policy Manager Console or displayed to the user. These
lower-priority alerts and notifications can provide very useful information
for troubleshooting, but if these alerts are enabled, the number of
transmitted alerts will increase substantially. If you have a large domain
structure, specifying strict alert-forwarding rules at the root domain level
could flood F-Secure Policy Manager Console with too many alerts.
You can further configure the alert target by setting the policy variables
under target-specific branches. For example
“Settings->Alerting->F-Secure Policy Manager Console->Retry Send
Interval” specifies how often a host will attempt to send alerts to F-Secure
Policy Manager Console when previous attempts have failed.
5.8 Reporting Tool
The Reporting tool allows users to view and export reports of F-Secure
Policy Manager Console managed data. The viewing and exporting
functionality provides a fine way to examine the data of several hosts/
domains at the same time.
To launch the Reporting tool, go to the Tools menu and select
Reporting… . The Reporting tool can also be launched from the context
menu in F-Secure Policy Manager Console‘s Policy Domain pane.
