Adding custom comments to a test

Add custom comments to a vulnerability assessment test. These comments can be added to pre-defined or custom tests and can be exported or imported between Guardium systems.

About this task

User-defined fields can be used to add custom descriptions to vulnerability assessment test results. As an example, add a custom risk score for your test to a user-defined field. Then, use the Query-Report builder to add the custom field to your custom report. You can then view the custom risk score when you generate the custom report.

When you export your vulnerability assessment test to another Guardium system, your custom comments are also exported.

The following procedure describes the method to add custom comments to a vulnerability assessment test by using the Guardium UI.

Procedure

  1. Browse to Harden > Vulnerability Assessment > Available Test Notes.
  2. Select the Datasource type.
  3. Select the Test name or Test ID.
  4. Under the User-defined Comments section, add up to three custom references and comments to the selected test.
  5. Click Save.

What to do next

Add the user-defined fields to your custom report by using the Query-Report builder. Generate the report and view your custom description in the test results.
