Activating Reporting
Reporting should be activated in each security policy. See
on page 118 for details on setting up reporting for a security policy. Adjust report send times to an
interval that will give you consistent updates on endpoint status. Additionally, an alert will not
activate without a report. Any activity you want to be alerted to must have an appropriate report
assigned to it in the security policy.
Optimizing Synchronization
By default, the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management Reporting Service syncs every 12 hours.
This means that reporting and alerts data are not ready until 12 hours have passed from installation.
To adjust this time, open the Configuration tool (see
Reporting time to the number of minutes appropriate for your needs and your environment.
When data is needed immediately, the Service Synchronization option in the Configuration tool
immediately lynches the Policy Distribution Service (which collects the reporting data from the
endpoints) and the Reporting Service, which updates all alerts based on the newly collected data.
See Section 5.3.3, "Service Synchronization," on page 47
