Audit whiteout and blackout periods Audit whiteout periods are time intervals when an audit can run on a system or group of systems. Audit blackout periods are time intervals when an audit can not be run. Audits are not scheduled. For example, consider a benchmark that was last evaluated at 5:14 p.m. on Sunday May 6th. The frequency requirement states the information should not be older than 4 days. Blackout windows are set from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. Whiteout windows cover the remaining period. If the benchmark is scheduled for re-evaluation during the Thursday evening whiteout window, the frequency requirement of 4 days is calculated so the benchmark must be evaluated no later than Thursday morning. Audit content updates sent to the ePolicy Orchestrator server cause McAfee Policy Auditor to run the audit at the next available whiteout period. NOTE: Agentless audits conducted by Foundstone or McAfee Vulnerability Manager do not honor whiteout and blackout periods.
