7.1 Example report scenario
To maintain your clients’ network security at the top level, you will need to have a good overview of the network’s
security status. You can easily create reports with full details about threats, updates, client product versions, etc. (for
more information, see the
Reports
section). Typically, a weekly report will provide all the necessary information.
However, there may be situations during which additional vigilance is necessary, as in the event of a found threat.
To provide an example, we will create a parametric group called
Quarantine
. This group will contain only computers in
which a threat was detected and cleaned during the last-performed on-demand scan. Set this condition by checking
the
HAS Last Scan Found Threat
option. To create this parametric group, follow the instructions in the
Parametric
Groups
section.
NOTE:
When creating the
Quarantine
group, verify that the
Sticky
option is disabled. The computer will be assigned
dynamically and removed once the conditions are no longer met.
Create the
Quarantine Computers
report. To create a report for this parametric group, follow the instructions in the
Reports
section.
The specific settings for our example are as follows:
Options
wildcard settings:
Type:
Quarantine Report with Details
Style:
Blue Scheme
Target clients:
Only Selected Groups
Threat:
n/a
Interval
wildcard settings:

TIP:
You can store results to the report database or set a folder where report copies will be stored. Reports can also be
sent via email. All these setting are available after clicking the button
Select Target…
Generated reports can be reviewed in the
General Reports
wildcard in the
Reports
section.
Summary:
We created the parametric group
Quarantine
, containing computers on which a threat was reported during
the most recent on-demand scan. Next, we created an automated report that will inform us, daily, what computers
belong to the
Quarantine
group, giving us a good overview of the status of our client network so we can keep potential
threats under control.
TIP:
If you want to see the last scan log details, you can use the
Scan Report with Details
report type.
