Policy Reports

A policy report shows information about the assigned policies on each Endpoint Security Client computer in the organization. You cannot see the Policy Report in SmartEndpoint. It is a CSV file that is created on the Endpoint Security Management Server at scheduled times.

To enable scheduled Policy Reports:

1. On the Endpoint Security Management Server, run: cpstop
2. Open the server’s local.properties file: $UEPMDIR/engine/conf/local.properties
3. Find the line: #emon.scheduler.time=9:55:00,10:55:00,15:33:00
   • Delete the # from the line
   • Edit the times to show the hour when the reports will be created. Reports will be created each day at these times.
   • Make sure the line is in this format: emon.scheduler.time=HH:mm:ss,HH:mm:ss,HH:mm:ss
     with no spaces between the times and commas.
4. Find the line: #emon.scheduler.max.reports=10
   • Delete the # from the line
   • The number represents the maximum number of reports that can remain in the report directory. The oldest ones are overridden by newer ones. Optional: Edit the number.
   • Make sure the line is in this format: emon.scheduler.max.reports=<number of reports to save>.
5. Find the line: #emon.scheduler.policyreport=true
   • Delete the # from the line
   • Make sure the line is in this format: emon.scheduler.policyreport=true
6. Create a new folder in $FWDIR/conf/SMC_Files/uepm/reports/. Run:

   mkdir $FWDIR/conf/SMC_Files/uepm/reports
chmod 2777 $FWDIR/conf/SMC_Files/uepm/reports

   The name of the report will be: policyReport<number>.csv

   The number represents the creation time so newer reports have higher numbers.

7. Run: cpstart
