Hello - in version 6 of the console, you can filter on any of the columns in the report including client version and platform.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 20:17:10 +0000 http://www.identityfinder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=340&PID=677#677 Identity Finder Enterprise Console : Reports: Filter By Client Info http://www.identityfinder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=340&PID=676#676 Author: rwarner1

While dealing with a recent client upgrade, I found that in the Endpoint Information report, there was no way to filter by Client Version or Client Platform. It not something that I would do often, but it would be more useful to have it in the filter list instead of having to go into the report and create the filter on the column.

Please add a "Directory" type to the Global Ignore List. Having this type would allow exclusions of a directory with a specific name without knowing an exact path, for example, in the case of the "Backups.backupdb" Time Machine directory on Macs.

Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the answer. The updated policy has been pushed and all clients will be scanned again on Friday. I'll take a look then and report back.

That does help, with 6.0 being planned to be released soon, I would probably just best wait.

Looking forward to this "Live Mode" as well.

Posted: 08 May 2012 at 8:23pm

When using DHCP, a new IP Address will actually be added to the endpoint (not replace it).  All of the IP Addresses will show up in the Endpoint Status or when editing the Endpoint.  In a future update we will probably remove the previous IP (unless it was manually added within the console) and replace it with the updated IP.]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 20:23:31 +0000 http://www.identityfinder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=336&PID=671#671 Operations and Usage : Identity Finder Metrics http://www.identityfinder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=334&PID=670#670 Author: dwoodruff

Hi,

What we have been doing to work around the issue of users cleaning up matches outside of Identity Finder is expire all match data older than 60 days via a service job. That way stale data will still exist but only for 60 days. To deal with historical accounting, I have a report job to export all match data once a week to csv so that if I have a need to go back and see if a machine had any matches 6 months ago, I can. A caveat is that if you don't have regularly scheduled searches on all endpoints, you'll eventually end up with endpoints in the console showing 0 matches since the old data has expired. This is certainly just a hack though, and I am really looking forward to LiveMode!

As for metrics, I can't offer much insight as we are focusing mainly on the single point in time of what still needs to be cleaned up. For historical metrics, we're just using the dashboards that come out of the box.

Dan

Hi there,

It sounds like you have search history enabled, which will cause the endpoints to only search new or modified files since the last scan. You can disable search history via policy in Settings/Performance/Search History.

Hope that helps,
Dan

That's a good tip, thanks!

Can Product Management please confirm if the endpoint IP address is updated in the console at any point, or if it stays the IP of the endpoint when it first registered? Last I heard, the IP address did not change, which makes it very difficult to find an endpoint by IP address on a DHCP network.

Thanks!
