7.1 Understanding Analysis
The Analysis tab allows historical reporting. Historical and vulnerability reports are published on a
Web Server, these run directly against the database and they appear on the Analysis and Advisor
tabs on the Navigator pane.
Analysis tab also provides Offline Query and Crystal Reports Server
In Offline Query you can save and generate the queries offline. This helps in optimizing network
usage as it relieves network from heavy processing when similar queries are triggered. Offline
Query helps you in ad hoc reporting and with Crystal Reports Server you can view predefined
reports. You can also customize reports to meet your requirements.
NOTE: Sentinel is integrated with Crystal Reports Server to generate and display reports. The
administrator must configure the location of the Crystal Reports Server that publishes reports in the
Crystal Report Configuration window of the Admin tab. The Navigator window on the Analysis tab
shows a list of available reports.
In order to run the report templates, you must have Crystal Reports Server Edition installed and your
Sentinel Control Center configured to access that server. For more information, see
