The Endpoint Agent Monitoring Activeboard implements four use cases:

  • Fleet overview: Active endpoints and managers, configuration, and status.

  • Data retrieval processes: Configured packs, queries, and associated ingestions data (events, volumes, etc.)

  • Alerts: Summary of alerts triggered on Endpoint Agent Data.

  • Endpoints status drill-down: Latest events and configuration details.
