Ad Hoc
Queries provide administrators with
a quick method to pull information directly from the
Control Manager database. The
database contains all information collected from all products registered
to the
Control Manager server
(log aggregation can affect the data available to query). Ad Hoc
Queries provide a very powerful tool for administrators.
While querying data, administrators can filter the query criteria
so only the data they need returns. Administrators can then export
the data to CSV or XML format for further analysis or save the query
for future use. Control Manager also
supports sharing saved queries with other users so others can benefit
from useful queries.
Completing an Ad Hoc query consists of the following process:
-
Step 1: Select the managed product or current Control Manager server for the
query
-
Step 2: Select the data view to query
-
Step 3: Specify filtering criteria and the specific information
that displays
-
Step 4: Save and complete the query
-
Step 5: Export the data to a CSV or XML file

Note
Control Manager supports
sharing saved Ad Hoc Queries with other users. Saved and shared
queries appear on the Saved Ad Hoc Queries screen.
