About this task

Vulnerability Response has both automated and formulated indicators.

Key terms

Indicator

Defines a performance measurement taken at regular intervals of a business service, activity, or organizational behavior. An example is an Active Vulnerable Item.

Indicator source

Data sets that consist of records filtered from one table or database view for increased efficiency. An example is VI.Active (Internet facing).

Breakdowns

Breakdowns filter and group indicator scores using qualitative attributes such as Priority, Category, and Assignment Group.

Scheduled jobs

Scheduled jobs are run to populate the indicator source data. The [PA VR] CISO Dashboard daily scheduled job is disabled by default. You must activate it to collect indicator scores for the CISO dashboard.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Performance Analytics > Indicators and choose one of the following:
   • Automated Indicators
   • Formula Indicators

   For more information on indicators, see Performance Analytics Indicators.

2. On the Indicators page, search for the required indicator name in the Name column.
3. Click the indicator name to open the record and view its details.

   The indicators for the CISO dashboard do not collect records by default. You can choose to collect records by selecting the Collect records check box.

   Note:

   Activating collect records in an indicator may cause performance issues such as taking a lot more time and memory that is required to run the data collection job.

   The maximum number of rows that you can fetch for an indicator source is 1,000,000.
