I Managing Your Assets

Select Manage > Assets

Assets are physical computers on a network that run an operating system and host applications or databases. Assets also host agents or endpoints. An agent resides on an asset and monitors endpoints such as computers, devices, and applications. An endpoint represents an agent-monitored operating system, application, web server, database instance, or network device.

NOTE:To successfully communicate and collect security information from the managed endpoints, you must first register the agents and endpoints with Core Services.

To manage agents, use the Windows console.
