Targets

Targets let you define the scope a File Protection Policy where it will be executed. Targets provide a straightforward way of creating a set of rules for a file repository. To access Targets, go to Policies > Targets.

The following actions can be performed on every target:

Edit – Allows you to edit the information of the selected target.
Delete – Click this button if you want to delete the selected targets.
Clone – Allows you to copy the configuration of an existing target, which can be edited without impacting the original one.
Status – Shows status information of target, including compliance of devices and findings in file repository.

You can view the graphical representation of this data by clicking Data Risk Assessment button. On clicking this button, you will be redirected to the Dashboard screen where the following charts are displayed:

Following is the description of all the columns shown under the Status screen.

Column Name	Description
Compliance	This field specifies whether the target is compliant or not. The green circle indicates that the PEM Agent has received latest policy changes and red circle indicates that the PEM Agent has not received the latest policy changes for the PEM Administrator.
Status	This field indicates any issue occurred in the agent. Possible issues might be invalid configuration, invalid path, or location.
Progress	This field displays the progress of scanning in percentage.
Estimate	This field displays the estimated time the target will complete the processing. The estimate is generated by using the elapsed time since remediation started and the number of files that have yet to be processed. It does not consider what processing or remediation action are being performed, the fact that some file types take no longer to process/remediated, nor the size of the files.
Device	This field displays the name of the device(s) on which policy is executed.
Owner	This field displays the name of the owner of the device.
Size	This field displays the total size of the files which are selected for scanning.
Files	This field displays the total count of files scanned.
Folders	This field displays the total count of folders scanned.
Sensitive Size	This field displays the total size of the files which were found to be sensitive in nature. If a file was discovered as sensitive but remediated by encryption or redaction, the file will not be considered sensitive and will not be counted.
Sensitive Files	This field displays the total count of the files which were found to be sensitive in nature. If a file was discovered as sensitive but remediated by encryption or redaction, the file will not be considered sensitive and will not be counted.
Retention Size < 1 year	This field displays the total size of the file(s) whose last modified date is less than a year.
Retention Files < 1 year	This field displays the total number of the file(s) whose last modified date is less than a year.
Retention Size > 1 year & < 5 years	This field displays the total size of the file(s) whose last modified date is greater than a year and less than 5 years.
Retention Files > 1 year & < 5 years	This field displays the total number of the file(s) whose last modified date is greater than a year and less than 5 years.
Retention Size > 5 years	This field displays the total size of the file(s) whose last modified date is greater than 5 years.
Retention Files > 5 years	This field displays the total number of the file(s) whose retention period is greater than 5 years.
Filtered Size	This field displays the total size of the files filtered by the targets file filter.
Filtered Files	This field displays the total count of files filtered by the targets file filter.
Filtered Folders	This field displays the total count of folders filtered by the targets file filter.
Errored Files	This field displays the total count of files which were not processed due to some error.
Last Reported	This field displays the date when the agent last reported back to the PEM Administrator.

The Persistent Targets panel displays the list of all targets defined in the PEM Administrator. The following is the description of the columns.

Column Name	Description
Name	This field displays the name of the target.
Enabled	This field indicates whether a target is enabled.
Users/Groups	This filed displays users/groups assigned to the target.
Pool	This field displays distributed app pool assigned to the target.
Platform	This field indicates the platform associated with the target.
Rank	This field contains the target rank; only applicable if a distribute app pool is assigned.
Paths	This field contains the exact path of the file folder the target will run against.
Updated At	This field display the date when target was last updated.

To Add a Persistent Target

To add a Persistent Target, the following attributes needs to be configured:

Attributes	Description
Name	Enter the name of the target. This must be descriptive.
Comment	Enter any additional information in this field, if required.
Enabled	Indicate if target should be enabled on save.
Platform	There are different platforms on which targets are supported i.e., Windows, Linux and OSX. OSX is not available when a distributed app pool is selected.
Users/Groups	This field displays the list of identity accounts in PEM Administrator. To search users, you can make use of Advanced Definitions feature. Must be left blank if a distributed app pool is selected.
Distributed App Pool	The drop-down display the list of all Distributed App Pools based on the type of platform selected. Must be left blank if users/groups are assigned.
Local Path(s)	This field contains the exact path of the folder where the file protection policy should be applied. When a distributed app pool is selected, each of the specified paths must exist on all of the machines in the specified distributed app pool and must refer to the same underlying storage volume.
File Protection Policy	The drop-down displays the list of all protection policies which are defined in the File Protection Policy page.
Rank	By default, the value is set to 0 (zero). Lower number means highest ranking. When a Distributed App Pool is selected, rank is used to create a priority list of targets.
Scan Only Mode	When checked the filesystem watcher is disabled and files are only picked up during periodic scan when sweep interval elapses.
Sweep Interval	This option is a secondary scan which runs to ensure that all the files are processed. Sometimes there is a possibility that system under extremely high load will not expose the correct file system event to PK Protect. Due to this reason, the file will not get processed. The time interval specifies how often a secondary scan should run. The default setting is 84,600 second i.e., 1 Day.
Enable Scheduling	Select Enable Scheduling to configure the target scheduling options. The following option are available: Start Time and Pause Time – Select the time in the Start Time and Pause Time fields. This identifies the time range during which the target will run the time is based on the agent. Passive Mode – This queues the file(s) to be processed later if they-re encountered outside of the scheduling range.
