Attributes are the application properties being measured and reported by the Blue Medora Agent for Symantec Endpoint Protection.
Attributes are organized into groups according to their purpose. The attributes in a group can be used in the following two ways:
Attributes are displayed in chart and table views. The chart and table views use queries to specify which attribute values to request from a monitoring agent. You use the Query editor to create a new query, modify an existing query, or apply filters and set styles to define the content and appearance of a view based on an existing query.
You use attributes to create situations that monitor the state of your operating system, database, or application. A situation describes a condition you want to test. When you start a situation, the Tivoli Enterprise Portal compares the values you have assigned to the situation attributes with the values collected by the Blue Medora Agent for Symantec Endpoint Protection and registers an event if the condition is met. You are alerted to events by indicator icons that are displayed in the Navigator.
