While this is a cloud prem update, it effects our on-prem customers as well because we have also updated the SVM Toolkit installer to provide a new Historical Reporting capability and to further improve our Intune integration.
Historical Trend Reporting
We are now shipping a utility within the SVM Toolkit that can collect data from your SVM account into a local SQL database. Such will allow you to store as much historical data as you wish, for as long as you wish. To help capitalize on this data, we are also providing PowerBI templates to help explore this data so you can better analyze longer term details of your vulnerability status. We intend to improve upon this with your feedback, so please come to the community Forums or Ideas to share your thoughts!
After installing the SVM Toolkit, you’ll find the provided PowerBI templates at "C:\Program Files\Flexera Software\Client Toolkit\Client Data\Report Templates\Power BI\"
