Chapter 13. Success Metrics

Success Metrics are charts that demonstrate the value of IQ Server, highlighting metrics like the average number of policy violations per application. They can also show the progress your organization is making by presenting changes in metrics over time.

Success Metrics data is gathered for all organizations and applications you have access to, and you need at least one month of historical evaluation data to generate the charts.

[Note]

Success Metrics are only available for the Root Organization. If you do not have a Root Organization defined, please see The Root Organization.

To access the charts, click the Success Metrics icon figs/web/success_metrics_icon.png in the toolbar. On the Success Metrics screen, select Root Organization to open the charts.

[Note]

Larger data sets may take considerable time to load the first time you access the charts.

The first section is the Summary tile that shows the average number of evaluations done per month and the average number of violations per application, including how many of those violations are critical. That information is broken down even further by policy type - security, license, quality, or other.

The second section is the Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by Month tile. It shows the average age of resolved violations for the last year. This information is further broken down by their threat level.

The last section is the Applications tile that breaks down how many of the applications included in the report have violations and of those how many are critical.

[Tip]

If needed, Success Metrics can be turned off by a System Administrator via the System Preferences menu in the toolbar.
