Transferring data to an ePO server<br />

Monitoring<br />

Transferring data to an ePO server 8<br />

The <strong>McAfee</strong> <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> appliance can be monitored on the <strong>McAfee</strong> ePolicy Orchestrator ®<br />

(ePO)<br />

console. This section tells you how to configure the appliance to transfer monitoring data to a server<br />

with <strong>McAfee</strong> ePO software installed.<br />

The <strong>McAfee</strong> ePO security management console is a tool for administering several <strong>McAfee</strong> products,<br />

including the <strong>McAfee</strong> <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> appliance. If you configure the <strong>McAfee</strong> ePO software and the<br />

appliance accordingly, you can log on to the appliance from the <strong>McAfee</strong> ePO console and have<br />

monitoring data transferred from the appliance to the <strong>McAfee</strong> ePO server.<br />

When data transfer to the <strong>McAfee</strong> ePO server is configured, this server sends SSL-secured requests for<br />

data collected on the appliance in regular intervals. Then you need to allow the CONNECT request that<br />

the SSL-secured communication begins with to bypass the normal processing of web security rules, so<br />

it does not get blocked on the appliance. For example, if you have authentication rules implemented,<br />

this would lead to blocking because the <strong>McAfee</strong> ePO server does not support the authentication method<br />

used by these rules.<br />

You can import an appropriate rule set from the library to enable the bypassing or create a rule set of<br />

your own.<br />

For more information, see Configure the data transfer, Import a rule set, and Bypass ePO Requests.<br />

Configure the data transfer<br />

To configure the transfer of data to a <strong>McAfee</strong> ePO server on the appliance:<br />

Orchestrator.<br />

3 Configure the ePolicy Orchestrator Settings as needed. These include settings for an account on<br />

the appliance that is needed to transfer the data, as well as settings for the data collection process.<br />

4 Click Save Changes.<br />
