Symantec SAV v9.x/v10.x can be managed by ePO.  Those are the only applications that I know of that can be managed via ePO.

You could create you own queries against the ePO database, but as far as doing that in ePo it is not possible. You are restricted to the scenarios McAfee came up with.. ie not all table can be queried against each other.

They've also developped a web interface where you could grab the data your are looking fro.

Can you point me to the web interface that you mention here?

Sure, you can do a search for this docuement in the McAfee product documentation as well as the community forums and you'll find what you are looking for.

Thank you..I was actually hoping to build a custom report, against a third party datasource (sql) and discplay it in the dashboard.  We use a different encryption product, and want to include that data in the ePO dashboard.  it looks like if the product you choose is not part of McAfee's group, then you are out of luck, which is sad.  They could simply add a sql query tool and allow you to display the results.

I haven't tried it but you can add a link to an rss fee, an html page. It should work if the ePO server has access to the data source you want to display....

But I haven't tried it, keep us in the loop if it work...

Just to go into more detail on Andre Parents suggestion.

You would want to construct the required report using something like IIS & ASP or Apache & PHP that has the desired SQL query against the 3rd Party SQL database.

You would then add a 'Custom URL' monitor to your dash board in ePO. I think ePO handles it like an embedded html iFrame but doesn't do a very good job (as the warning suggests when you enter the URL).
