End-System Details


The End-System Details window provides connection state and assessment information for a single end-system. It is launched from the End-Systems View in the Control tab, by double-clicking any end-system in the table or selecting an end-system and then selecting Show Details from the Tools menu.

The End-System Details window has four tabs. The Access Profile tab provides end-system summary information. The End-System tab provides end-system connection state information. The End-System Event tab displays end-system event information. The Health Results tab displays end-system assessment result information.

This Help topic provides information on the four tabs:

End-System Tab

This tab presents detailed information on the selected end-system's connection, authentication, and registration. Expand the sections using the arrow buttons to see additional information.

For a definition of various fields, see the column definitions included in the End-Systems topic.

Changes to group membership do not require an enforce and will be synchronized with engines immediately. Changes will not affect the end-system until the next authentication or assessment occurs.

End-System Events Tab

The End-System Events tab shows all the events for the selected end-system.

You can manipulate the table data in this window in several ways to customize the view for your own needs:

  • Select the column headings to perform an ascending or descending sort on the column data.
  • Hide or display different columns by selecting a column heading and selecting the column options from the menu.
  • Rearrange columns by dragging a column heading to the desired position.
  • Filter the data in each column in the table.

Health Results Tab

The top table in the Health Results tab provides summary information on scan results obtained for the selected end-system. The bottom table presents the individual health result details for the scan selected in the top table. Double-click any row in the bottom table to open the Health Result Details window and view a description, solution, and result for the health result.  Information is displayed in this tab only if assessment is enabled on the network and there are health results in the database.

Health Results

This table presents health results for all the scans performed on the end-system.

Risk
The overall risk level assigned to the end-system based on the health result of the scan:
  • Red - High Risk
  • Orange - Medium Risk
  • Yellow - Low Risk
  • Green - No Risk
  • Gray - Unknown
Start Scan
The date and time the scan started.
MAC Address
The end-system's MAC address.
Reason
The reason the health result was placed into the specified risk level. This is based on the risk level configuration that was used for the assessment, for example, if there was one or more health result detail with a score greater than 7. If the end-system is NAP capable, then this is based on the values returned from NAP.
Summary
A list of all the test cases that were run against the device during assessment. The test case name will be listed, or if that is not available, the test case ID will be listed.
Test Sets
The list of test sets that were run during assessment, for example, Default Nessus, Default Agent-less, and Default Agent-based. Test sets are defined as part of the assessment configuration. If the end-system is NAP capable, then this column displays Microsoft NAP indicating that NAP performed the assessment.
Total Score
The total sum of the scores for all the health details that were included as part of the quarantine decision, followed by the actual score in parenthesis. The actual score is what the total score would be if all the health details were included as part of the quarantine decision. It includes all scores, including those marked Informational and Warning. If the total score and the actual score are the same, only one score is shown.
Top Score
The highest score received for a health detail that was included as part of the quarantine decision. Scores that are marked as Informational or Warning are not considered.
IP Address
The end-system's IP address.
End Scan
The date and time the scan ended.
Server Name
The name of the assessment server. For on-board assessment servers, the name is determined by the name of the ExtremeControl engine. For example, if you create an ExtremeControl engine and name it MyAccessControlengine, then the on-board assessment server name will be listed as MyAccessControlengine as well.
Server IP
The IP address of the assessment server. For on-board assessment servers, the IP address is determined by the address of the ExtremeControl engine. For example, if you create an ExtremeControl engine with an IP address of 10.20.80.8, then the on-board assessment server IP address is listed as 10.20.80.8 as well.
Server Port
The port number on the assessment server to which the ExtremeControl engine sends assessment requests.
Host Unreachable
Displays whether the end-system was unreachable and could not be scanned: Yes or No.
Warning Count
The total number of health result details that are marked as Warnings.
