Multi-Server Roll-Up Querying - McAfee EPOLICY ORCHESTRATOR 4.0.2 Product Manual

Querying the Database

Multi-server roll-up querying

• Grouped summary table
• Line chart
• Pie chart
• Summary table
• Table
Table columns
Specify columns for the table. If you select Table as the primary display of the data, this
configures that table. If you selected a type of chart as the primary display of data, this configures
the drill-down table.
Query results displayed in a table are actionable. For example, if the table is populated with
systems, you can deploy or wake up agents on those systems directly from the table.
Filters
Specify criteria by selecting properties and operators to limit the data retrieved by the query.
Multi-server roll-up querying
ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0.2 now includes the ability to run queries that report on summary data
from multiple ePO databases. There are these result types in the Query Builder wizard that you
can use for this type of querying:
• Rolled Up Managed Systems
• Rolled Up Compliance History
Query results from these types of queries are not actionable.
How it works
To roll up data for use by roll-up queries, you must register each server (including the local
server) you want to include in the querying.
Once the servers are registered, then you must configure Data Roll Up server tasks on the
reporting server (the server that performs the multi-server reporting). Data Roll Up server tasks
retrieve the information from all databases involved in the reporting, and populates the eporollup_
tables on the reporting server.
The roll-up queries target these database tables on the reporting server.
NOTE: Use of the Rolled Up Compliance History type of query, requires an additional query (on
Managed Systems with a Boolean pie chart) and an additional Run Query server task (with the
subaction to generate a compliance event) to run on each server whose data you want to
include in the Rolled Up Compliance History type of query.
