ESET Enterprise Inspector and ESET Dynamic Threat Defense have been renamed to ESET Inspect and ESET LiveGuard Advanced.

You may need to troubleshoot issues caused by the renaming if you upgraded from ESET PROTECT 9.0 and earlier and have reports, dynamic groups, notifications or other rules that filter for ESET Dynamic Threat Defense or ESET Enterprise Inspector.

The following dashboards come pre-configured in ESET PROTECT:

Status Overview

The Status Overview dashboard is the default screen you see when you log into ESET PROTECT (unless you set another dashboard as the default one). It displays general information about your network.

Device filters - Displays the number of managed devices based on last reported status. You can click each of the 4 tiles to open a filtered list of devices.

Device status - Displays the number of managed devices based on the type security product installed in respective tabs. If no security product of that group is deployed, the tab will display an option to deploy the respective installer package.

Connection status - Displays the list of last connections of managed devices.

 

Component version status

The chart displays the ratio of up-to-date and outdated ESET component versions or ESET security product versions.

Red (Legacy) - A legacy version of the ESET component/product or an earlier version with a discovered security vulnerability that is no longer supported and is no longer in the ESET repository.

Yellow (Outdated) - The installed version of the ESET component/product is outdated but still supported. Usually, two versions earlier than the latest version are in the yellow state unless they contain a recently discovered security vulnerability.

Green (OK) - The latest version of the ESET component/product is installed or the installed version is the last version of the ESET component/product compatible with the used ESET PROTECT Web Console.

Blue (Waiting) - The auto-updates are enabled and the latest version will get installed automatically. Read more details about the auto-updates of:

Alternatively, you can use the ESET PROTECT Components Upgrade Client Task to upgrade Agents and the Software Install Client Task to upgrade ESET security products.

Gray (Unknown) - The ESET component/product version is not recognized  (for example, shortly after a new installation of the ESET product).

 

Management status - Displays the number of Managed & Protected (client devices with both ESET Agent and a security product installed), Managed (client devices with only Agent), Unmanaged (client devices in your network that are known to ESET PROTECT but without Agent) and Rogue (client devices unknown to ESET PROTECT but detected by Rogue Detection Sensor).
