Choosing an ePO Notification Event interval
This setting determines how often ePO Notification Events are sent to the Automatic Response system.
There are three types of ePO Notification Events:
•
Client events — Events that occur on managed systems. For example, "Product update succeeded."
•
Threat events — Events that indicate a possible threat is detected. For example, "Virus detected."
•
Server events — Events that occur on the server. For example, "Repository pull failed."
An automatic response can be triggered only after the Automatic Response system receives a
notification. McAfee recommends that you specify a relatively short interval for sending these
Notification events. McAfee recommends that you choose an evaluation interval that is frequent
enough to ensure that the Automatic Response system can respond to an event in a timely manner,
but infrequent enough to avoid excessive bandwidth consumption.
Task

Specify a value between 1 and 9,999 minutes for the Evaluation Interval (1 minute by default), then
click Save.
Configuring settings for global updates
Global updates automate repository replication in your network. The content distributed to repositories
during a global update, and whether global updates are enabled are configured using the Global
Updating server setting.
Global updates are disabled by default. However, McAfee recommends that you enable and use them
as part of your updating strategy. You can specify a randomization interval and package types to be
distributed during the update. The randomization interval specifies the time period in which all
systems are updated. Systems are updated randomly within the specified interval.
Task
For option definitions, click ? in the interface.
1
Click Menu | Configuration | Server Settings, select Global Updating from the Setting Categories, then click Edit.
Set the status to Enabled and specify a Randomization interval between 0 and 32,767 minutes.
2
Specify which Package types to include in the global updates:
3
• All packages — Select this option to include all signatures and engines, and all patches and service
packs.
• Selected packages — Select this option to limit the signatures and engines, and patches and service
packs included in the global update.
When using global updating, McAfee recommends scheduling a regular
pull task (to update the master repository) at a time when network
traffic is minimal. Although global updating is much faster than other
methods, it increases network traffic during the update. For more
information about performing global updates, see Global updating under
Product and update deployment.
