I'm jumping into this late, but We are a SAV 10.1 Corp Edition company for end
users. I've done some basic research and found that Corp Edition cant run a
reporting server. Should I say, the reporting server does not come with Corp
Edition. Does a reporting server generate reports that are better than was the
SAV 10.1 corp console gives you. I can get good info from the console, but no
good reports can be generated from it.
I would be curious to see some screen grabs myself.

Objet : RE: Symantec AV reporting metrics.
All,
Thank you for your pointers.
I have tried the manual process but it doesn't give good metrics for my
audience (CTO, CSO, CIOs, IT Managers).
I have tried to convince IT folks to upgrade to 10.1 so I can use the reporting
module but no one want to upgrade to a vulnerable version of the AV.
They don't believe in the patch provided by Symantec since I am not able to
test it and provide a technical report - patch the app and try to exploit the
vulnerability and report.
Please, could you help me on the following?
1. Do you have a screenshot of the reporting module? Graphs, type of metrics it
can provide, etc?
2. Do you know how I can patch 10.1 and test the effectiveness of the patch?
Thanks,
Serge

Installing the reporting server is the start. Unless you have a small number
of clients I would recommend a separate system. The reporting server is
somewhat CPU intensive in my experience.
Each AV server will need to have reporting agents installed on them.
However for testing you can set up the reporting server and only those AV
servers that you want to test with would need the reporting agents installed.
You will need the SAV 10.1 SSC to configure the agents
Yes 10.1 needs to be maintenance patched to 10.1.0.400 and point patched to
10.1.0.401

Thanks Ted,
If I understand, I just need to install the 10.1 and the reporting server in
one of my primary and that is it?
Is there any eval version of it? I will like to test it on my lab first.
BTW, is the 10.1 affected by the recent Symantec products vulnerability?
Thanks,
Serge

I am running Reporting server without any problem on version 10, and 9 servers.
The agent installs and reports back to the reporting server. You may need a
special group with 10.1 for the reporting server only, but the reporting will
work with the lower version AV servers ( agent will not install on NT systems)

Sekure and all,
Thanks but we don't have version 10.1 and unfortunately, I have to find a way
to report with the versions we have. I may suggest to upgrade but that will not
be possible now - IT Ops folks and other IS Managers will be difficult to
convince - given the heavy IT Governance and change process we have in place.
We currently have version 8 in few sites, version 9 and 10 in the majority of
the sites.
Paul, your pointers are more than welcome!!!
Thanks,
Serge

Symantec Corp AV 10.1 has a reporting server module, which provides pretty
pictures for lots of these metrics.

All,
I have been tasked to develop Symantec AV reporting metrics.
The metrics should help provide visual information (graphs, tables,
etc)
to
Senior management on weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual basis per
region
and WW if needed.
I am focusing on providing the followings:
- Number of AV clients per region,
- Number of AV engines, versions, per region,
- Information on AV defs per region, frequency of updates, versions of
AV definitions, age of AV definitions (i.e. two weeks old, two months
old,
very
old, etc).
- Status of AV clients per region - i.e. auto-protect enabled or
disabled,
threat found, old definitions, etc.
- Any other information that will be useful for big boss not
interested
on
technical data.
I am looking for pointers, idea and suggestion from those who have
already
done so; I will not try to re-invent the wheel ;)
Thanks for your inputs.

Serge Vondandamo, HND, CISSP, CCNA.
