•
Configuring IT Security Search
•
Configuring a NAS Host Device
•
Configuring Server Error Notification
•
Using the Tenant Application Manager

Configuring Change History

For all discovery types except Azure® Active Directory, Azure® Resource, Exchange, Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive®, change history allows you to report on changes over time to the objects you collect. For example, if you choose to collect the change history for the NTFS discovery type, and a new file is added to a previously collected folder, you can see this reflected in a change history report.

You configure change history at a global level for each discovery. All discoveries of that type will collect this data. When you create a discovery, the Name page indicates whether change history is enabled for the discovery type.

In addition to the discoveries you can create and run in Enterprise Reporter, there is additional information that is common to more than one type of discovery, such as user accounts, groups or group members. To collect change history information for this data, enable change history for the Common discovery type.

To enable or disable change history for a discovery type
1
Click System | Configuration.
2
Click Configure global change history settings.
A button shows the current status of the change history configuration for each discovery type.
3
Click the Enabled or Disabled button to toggle the setting.
4
Click Close.

Managing the Collection of Additional Attributes

Managing the Collection of Additional Attributes

Enterprise Reporter collects a pre-defined set of attributes for each object in a discovery. The attributes collected vary depending on the type of discovery, the object, and the version of Enterprise Reporter you are using. You can add and remove attributes collected by Active Directory® and computer discoveries. You can extend:

•
Active Directory® discovery attributes for users, groups, computers, organizational units, and service account.
•
Computer discoveries with attributes from WMI classes added.
•
Active Roles attributes for users, groups, computers, contacts, and organizational units.
The following data types are supported:
•
Boolean
•
Case Ignored String
•
Case Sensitive String
•
DN String
•
Integer
•
Large Integer
•
Numeric String
•
Print Case String
•
Time
•
Unicode
 
* 
NOTE: Collecting Active Roles attributes for users, groups, computers, and organizational units can significantly increase the collection time. Some attributes that are known to increase collection time are:
•
edsaDialinAccessPermissions
•
edsaDialinApplyStaticRoutes
•
edsaDialinApplyStaticIP
•
edsaDialinCallbackNumber
•
edsaDialinCallbackOptions
•
edsaDialinCallerID
•
edsaDialinStaticIP
•
edsaDialinStaticRoutes
•
edsaDialinVerifyCallerID

Attributes you extended in previous versions of Enterprise Reporter may become default attributes in newer versions. In this case, the extended attribute is preserved to ensure that your reports continue to work, but only the default attribute is available for new reports.

When you add or remove attributes for a discovery type, Enterprise Reporter has to process them. This can take some time, during which any running discoveries of the type you extended may fail. You should perform the extension only after ensuring that no discoveries of that type are running or scheduled to run. Additionally, any attributes that are no longer being collected should be removed from any reports in which they were included.

* 
TIP: In order to minimize collection time, it is recommended that you only collect attributes that you know are required by your reporting users. You cannot remove attributes that are collected by default.
* 
NOTE: Reporting users will need to restart their consoles in order to have the most up to date list of available attributes in their reports. Consider informing users that data is no longer being collected, so they can remove the associated fields from their reports.

Configuring IT Security Search

You can globally configure Enterprise Reporter to send information collected about Active Directory and Computers, NTFS, Azure Active Directory, Azure Resources, and Microsoft Teams to the IT Security Search Repository after every discovery. To be able to push collected data to the repository, the database account must have db-owner rights to the Enterprise Reporter database. The first discovery transmission includes all of the information collected for IT Security Search (based on your configuration settings). Subsequent discovery transmissions include only information that has been updated, is new, or has been deleted. You can view the statuses of the 100 most recent data transfers sent to the IT Security Search Repository or send all of the information in the database if maintenance or support issues occur.

For Enterprise Reporter to access the IT Security Search Warehouse Rest API, you must provide the appropriate host name, port, and credentials. This information can be obtained from the IT Security Search administrator.

To configure IT Security Search
1
Click System | Configuration.
2
Click Manage configuration of IT Security Search.
3
Enter the host name.
4
Enter the host port number.
- OR -
Select Use HTTPS to set the port number to 443.
Optionally, enter a custom host port number.
5
Click the ellipsis (...) to use the Credential Manager to enter and select the credentials required to access the host. For more information, see Using the Credential Manager .
6
Optionally, click Test Connection to verify access to the host.
* 
NOTE: If Enterprise Reporter encounters errors connecting to IT Security Search, the Configuration Manager logs will contain those errors. For more information, see Exporting Logs from the Configuration Manager .
7
Optionally, select the information to send to the IT Security Search Repository after every discovery.
8
If the connection test has been completed successfully, click OK to save the configuration settings.
To view the status of IT Security Search data transfers and re-send data if required
1
Click System | Configuration.
2
Click Manage configuration of IT Security Search.
3
Click View Status.
4
Optionally, click Send All to send all of the information in the database to the IT Security Search repository, review the confirmation, and click Yes to continue.
