Configuring Email Notifications

Enterprise Reporter can be configured to send email notifications that indicate when nodes and discoveries change state and may need administrator intervention. You can configure host, sender, and recipient information, and select whether to send notifications for node state changes, discovery state changes, or both. You can also select whether to include all discovery state changes or just the failures.

1
On the Configuration page, click Manage email notifications.
Optionally, click View email address format errors to display the errors.
8
Optionally, select Send notifications on node state changes.
9
Optionally, select Send notifications on discovery state changes.
10
If Send notifications on discovery state changes is selected, select Send all to send email notifications for every discovery state change.
If Send notifications on discovery state changes is selected, select Send only failures to send email notifications only for only discovery state changes that are failures.

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.

Attributes you extended in previous versions of Enterprise Reporter can 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.

Configuring IT Security Search

You can manage the configuration information and the credentials to access IT Security Search Warehouse Rest API. 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.

Configuring a NAS Host Device

You can manage the configuration information and the credentials for all NAS host devices that contain targets to be collected. Configuring NAS host devices is only required if a NAS host device target has been added to an NTFS or File Storage Analysis discovery and that discovery is collecting volume information. For more information, see File Storage Analysis Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices , or NTFS Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices .

If you have NAS host devices that contain targets to be collected, you must enable the collection option and add the configuration and credentials for each host device. You can optionally omit NAS host device configuration and collect shares as volumes for NAS device targets in the discovery. Use this option when volumes cannot be retrieved or do not need to be collected.
