Priority event forwarding
You can configure the agent to forward events on a priority basis if they are equal to or greater than a
specified severity.
During normal operation, the agent and security software on the managed system generates software
events regularly. These events are uploaded to the server at each agent‑server communication and
are stored in the database. These events can range from information about regular operation, such as
when the agent enforces policies locally, to critical events, such as when a virus is detected and not
cleaned. A typical deployment of agents in a large network can generate thousands of these events an
hour.
Specific event severities are determined by the product that generates the events. If you plan to use
Automatic Responses, McAfee recommends that you enable priority uploading of higher severity
events for those features to function as intended because the agent sends lower priority events to the
McAfee ePO server on subsequent Agent to Server communication intervals.
You can enable priority uploading of events on the Events tab of the McAfee Agent policy pages.
Retrieve system properties
You can use the agent to retrieve system properties from managed systems.
At each agent‑server communication, the agent sends information to the McAfee ePO server about the
managed computer, including information about the software products that are installed. The scope of
the information depends on how you have configured:
• The agent policy that specifies whether to retrieve a full set of information about installed
programs, or only a minimal set as defined by the McAfee products.
• The task setting that specifies whether to retrieve all properties defined by the agent policy, or only
properties that have changed since the last agent‑server communication. This setting is available
when configuring an immediate or scheduled wake‑up call.
Agent wake‑up client task is supported only on the Windows platform. Use System Tree actions to the
wake up the agent on Unix‑based and Macintosh operating systems.
