Customizing default host settings
You should regularly check the status of your managed hosts to ensure that the system is working properly. You can see the state of your deployment through the Managed hosts view and Agents view.
When you first deploy a managed host it takes a few minutes for the agent to start collecting data. As the status changes, a regular refresh allows you to see the changes. You can also use this status to track the progress whenever you add or remove an agent.
A managed host's status is displayed on the Managed hosts view.
Status | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
Agent Issue |
One or more agents for this managed host are in an error state. The Status Detail column on the Agents view may contain additional information to identify the problem.

For each managed host, use the Managed Hosts view to determine the state of the data. Errors should be addressed immediately, in order to ensure accurate data from the managed host being scanned. The following table outlines the different states your data can have.
State |
Description |
---|---|
A scanning error has occurred | There has been an error with one of the scanners. Data is incomplete, so you should determine what the issue is. Ensure that the managed host is available on the network, and confirm that the agent’s service account has adequate access to the managed host. |
Data available | The agent has successfully completed scanning security information for the managed host. |
Scanning | The agent is performing a full scan of security information. Queries for information at this time may be incomplete. |
