Control Manager 5.5 allows direct queries to the Control Manager database. Data views are available to Control Manager 5 report templates and to Ad Hoc Query requests.
Data views are tables filled with information. Each heading in a data view acts as a column in a table. For example the Virus/Malware Action/Result Summary has the following headings:
Action Result
Action Taken
Unique Endpoints
Unique Sources
Detections
As a table, a data view takes the following form with potential subheadings under each heading:
