Monitoring Compliance States
Monitor the compliance state of computers in your environment from:
n
The Logs tab of the SmartConsole Logs & Monitor view
n
The Security Overview
n
Reporting > Compliance
These compliance states are used in the Security Overview and Compliance reports:
n
Compliant - The computer meets all compliance requirements.
n
About to be restricted - The computer is not compliant and will be restricted if steps are
not done to make it compliant. See
"Configuring the "About to be Restricted" State" on
the next page
n
Observe - One or more of the compliance rules that is set as Observe is not met. Users
do not know about this status and have no restrictions.
n
Restricted - The computer is not compliant and has restricted access to network
resources.
n
Warn - The computer is not compliant but the user can continue to access network
resources. Do the steps necessary to make the computer compliant.
The Heartbeat Interval
Endpoint clients send "heartbeat" messages to the Endpoint Security Management Server to
check the connectivity status and report updates. The time between heartbeat messages is
known as the
heartbeat interval.
Note - The default heartbeat interval is 60 seconds. A shorter heartbeat interval can
cause additional load on the management. A longer heartbeat interval may lead to
less up-to-date logs and reports
The endpoint computer Compliance state is updated at each heartbeat. The heartbeat interval
also controls the time that an endpoint client is in the About to be restricted state before it is
restricted.
It is possible to create restricted policies that will automatically be enforced once the endpoint
client enters a restricted state
To configure the heartbeat interval and out-of-compliance settings:
1. Click Manage > Endpoint Connection Settings.
The Connection Settings Properties window opens.
2. In the Connection Settings section, set the Interval between client heartbeats.
