Computers

All client devices that have been added to ESET PROTECT are shown here and are divided into groups. Each device is assigned to a single static group. Clicking a group from the list (on the left) will display the members (clients) of this group in the right pane.

Unmanaged computers (clients on the network that do not have the ESET Management Agent or an ESET security product installed) usually appear in the Lost & found group. The status of a client that is shown in the ESET PROTECT Web Console is independent from the settings of the ESET security products on the client. That is why even if a certain status is not displayed on the client, it is still reported to the ESET PROTECT Web Console. You can drag and drop clients to move them between groups.

Click button Add New and select:

• Computers - You can add computers to the selected static group.

• Mobile devices - You can add mobile devices to the selected static group.

• Synchronize via directory server - You can run Static Group Synchronization task.

Click a device to open a new menu with actions available for that device. You can also select the check box next to a device and click the Actions button on the bottom bar. The Action menu will display different options depending on the type of device. Refer to the Icon legend for details about different icon types and statues. Click the number of alerts in the Alerts column to see the list of alerts in the computer details section.

Last Connected displays the date and time of last connection of the managed device. A green dot indicates that the computer connected less than 10 minutes ago. The Last Connected information gets highlighted to indicate that the computer is not connecting:

oYellow (error) - computer is not connecting for 2-14 days.

oRed (warning) - computer is not connecting for more than 14 days.

Filtering the view

There are different ways to filter your view:

•Standard filter: To add filtering criteria, click Add filter and select item(s) from the list. Type the search string(s) or select the items form the drop-down menu in the filter field(s) and press Enter. Active filters are highlighted in blue.

•You can filter by severity using the status icons: red - Errors, yellow - Warnings, green - OK and gray - Unmanaged computers. The severity icon represents the current status of your ESET product on a particular client computer. You can use a combination of these icons by turning them on or off. For example, to see only the computers with warnings, leave only the yellow icon selected (the rest of the icons must be deselected). To see both, warnings and errors, leave only these two icons on.

•Click Add filter > Product Category and using the drop-down menu, you can select the types of devices to be displayed.
