ePolicy Orchestrator Notifications
The ePolicy Orchestrator Notifications feature can alert you to any events that occur on
the managed systems in your environment or on the ePolicy Orchestrator server itself.
You can configure rules in ePolicy Orchestrator to send e-mail, SMS, or text pager
messages (or SNMP traps), as well as run external commands, when specific events
are received and processed by the ePolicy Orchestrator server. The ability to specify the
event categories that generate a notification message and the frequencies with which
notifications are sent are highly configurable.
This feature notifies specified individuals when the conditions of a rule are met. These
can include:
Detection of a virus or other potentially unwanted program by your anti-virus
software product. Although almost any anti-virus software product is supported,
events from VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i include the IP address of the source attacker
so that you can isolate the system infecting the rest of your environment.
Outbreak situations. For example, 1000 virus detected events are received within
five minutes.
Compliance events from McAfee System Compliance Profiler. For example,
systems are found that are not current with the latest Microsoft patches.
High-level compliance of ePolicy Orchestrator server events. For example, a
replication task did not complete.
Detection of rogue systems.
This feature also allows you to configure notification rules to execute command lines
and launch registered executables when the specified conditions are met.
About Notifications
Before you plan the implementation of Notifications, you should understand how this
feature works with ePolicy Orchestrator and its Directory.
This feature does not follow the inheritance model of policy enforcement.
