Add computers using RD Sensor


Warning

The End of Life date for ESET Rogue Detection (RD) Sensor is October 31, 2026. ESET will remove RD Sensor from ESET PROTECT between December 2026 and January 2027.

The easiest way to find an unmanaged computer in your network structure is to use RD Sensor. RD Sensor monitors the network in which it is deployed and when a new device without an Agent connects to the network it reports this information to the ESET PROTECT. The RD Sensor component cannot be deployed with Live Installer. To deploy RD Sensor into your network, follow the RD Sensor Installation steps.

In Reports, go to section Computers and click the Rogue computers report.
