    Hello all,

    I am trying to setup a SIEM product for FEP alerts but I can't find where the alerts are actually stored in the database.

    Can anyone help me with this?  What table should I being looking at?

    Note: I have no experience with FEP/SCCM/SCOM

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thank you for the post.

    Here is article about the FEP alert procedure:
    The Forefront Endpoint Monitoring service checks the FEP reporting database for events that trigger an alert.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg675286.aspx

    So, just check the FEPDW DB--views name like dbo.vwAN_Alert_XXX. There are three types of Alert views.(MalwareDetection/MultipleInfection/ReinfectedComputer) 

    If there are more inquiries on this issue, please feel free to let us know.

    Regards

    Hi Rick

    actually this is some kind of information that i'm searching the web in the few past months, but with no luck.

    I need to know, where can i find in the databases of FEP 2010/2012, the time(hour/minute) of every virus definitions that arrives at my FCS Central Server, and also the time (hour/minute) of each of those same virus definition was installed in every Server's and workstations in my network.

    My OBjective ? : Measure the time (hour/minute) between the arrive and instalation in my FCS Central Server, and then in each of my server's and workstations, obtaining the diference between.

    Can you please help ? Thanks !

    Best Regards

    Hi Bruno,

    FEPDW DB should be installed on the FEP/SCCM server. Or you could run FEP report via SCCM server console UI, it will load url http://serverA/ReportServerXXX. The serverA is your FEPDW DB server.
