You can use the preconfigured queries, create custom queries, use the output of the queries to perform tasks, and create reports as output.
Note
Whenever you change a policy, configuration, client or server task, automatic response, or report, export the settings before and after the change.
To view one of the preconfigured queries, click Run. You can then perform the following tasks:
Save the output as a report.
Duplicate the query and change the output.
View results in the query system.
Take action on the results as you normally would in the System Tree.
Note
As you add new products using extensions to ePO - On-prem, new preconfigured queries and reports become available.
Reporting lag time
When you run ePO - On-prem query reports, you must be aware that reports have a lag-time. This lag-time means information is not added to the report during the time when it's actually being run. This information lag-time begins when you start the query, lasts until the query is done, and varies depending on the time it takes to run the query.
Report lag-time example:
You run a query hourly and the query takes 10 minutes to run.
Events that occur during the 10 minutes, while the query is being run, are not included in that report, but are written to the database.
Those events appear in the next query report run an hour later.
