McAfee Policy Auditor 6.0 software Product Guide for ePolicy Orchestrator 4.6
Description
system data maintenance tasks to run. When the server task restarts, it
resumes where it left off. The default setting is to let this task run for 2
hours.
Defines the value, in hours, for running the PA: Update Audit Assignments
server task. McAfee Policy Auditor sends audit content only to systems that
are scheduled to receive the content. This reduces bandwidth and lessens
client system disk space requirements.
Allows you to retain full OVAL results for failed, non-patch checks that do not
have Findings information. When you enable this setting, the software retains
full OVAL results so that you can determine the cause of the failure. This
setting is disabled by default and retains "thin" OVAL results, not the full OVAL
results.
Defines the number of file integrity file versions to store. You can store the
contents of up to 6 text files, including the baseline version. See the File
Integrity Monitoring section for more information on baselines and file versions.
When the percentage of rules that pass in an audit exceed the defined
percentage, the software will aggregate the results in queries and reports.
The number of benchmark results purged when purging audit results.
The number of processing threads allotted to audit results. The default number
is 5.
Findings provide information about why checks failed in an audit. Since an
audit may report thousands of violations, you can limit the number of violation
shown in reports through the Violation Limit setting. By default, McAfee Policy
Auditor truncates the number of violation results to 300.
