ESET PROTECT Web Console

ESET PROTECT Web Console is the main interface used to communicate with ESET PROTECT Server. You can think of it as a control panel, a central place where you can manage all of your ESET security solutions. It is web-based and can be accessed using a browser (see Supported Web browsers) from any place and device with internet access. When you log into the Web Console the first time, the ESET PROTECT On-Prem Tour will appear.

In the ESET PROTECT Web Console standard layout:

The current user is always shown in the upper right, where the timeout for your session counts down. You can click Logout to log out at any time. You must log in again when a session times out (because of inactivity). To change User Settings, click your username in the top right corner of the ESET PROTECT Web Console.

The Main Menu is accessible on the left at all times except when using a wizard. Click the expand_menu to expand the menu on the left side of the screen; you can collapse it by clicking collapse_menu Collapse.

If you need help when working with ESET PROTECT On-Prem, click the Help information icon in the top right corner and click Current topic - Help. The help window for the current page will display. Click Help > About to see the ESET PROTECT On-Prem version and other details.

You can use the search tool at the top of the ESET PROTECT Web Console. Type at least 3 and maximum of 30 characters into the search field to search these categories: Computer name, Computer description, Computer IP address, Static group name, Detection cause, Computer Users, Native user name and Domain user name. You can find maximum of 3 results in each category. Click the result to view the details and click All results to view the specific Web Console section with the applied category filter.
