    Hello Musaib,

    Have you install agent in oracle and sql server? If yes, have ur DB admin done any data extraction from their side?

    Hi Agustin,
    Thank you for your response

    Yes, agent is installed and i discussed with db admin he said we are doing this every day i mean data extraction, is there any way to test this data extraction policy?

    Hello Musaib,

    Can you create a security policy as DB Service Custom type and set the criteria as same with your audit policy? Then apply it to related Server Groups and check if it is triggered or not.

    Hi Musaib,

    You applied the policy to correct server group and services, right?

    Can you share the Alerts tab of MX too?

    Additionally, can you see any throughput on related agent's details page?

    Hi Musaib,

    Last Few Days criteria work for differently based on the execution of the report. When you run the report manually its timeframe is "from now-3*24 hours to now". But when the report runs as scheduled job, its timeframe is "last 3 days 00:00-23:59".

    You can look at the details from that link: Clarification on the scope of "Last Few Days" reports [3e10470b]

    Hi Musaib,

    Can you run the reports manually and look the results again for both Alerts and Audit reports?

    Hi Musaib,

    If you see alert on dashboard, you should get this alert as report. Your report definition looks good. Can you share output of the latest alert report that you run it manually here please?
