The Computers page provides a table of computers and information about them, including their platform, policies, Enforcement Levels, and whether they are currently connected to the server. As with most console tables, you can add or remove details shown in the table using the Columns button.
You also can use the Filters panel or Search field to limit the computers shown to those you are most interested in. For more about customizing your view, see Console Tables.
In addition to the table of agent-managed computers, the Computers page shows the following information:
- Computers connected – Shows the number of computers running the agent that are currently connected to the server.
- Total computers – Shows the total number of computers that are currently members of security policies managed by the server.
- Current CL version – Shows the version number of the latest Configuration List (CL) available from the server. This can be used to help determine whether the CL for a particular agent is out of date. Note, however, that some CL versions are agent-specific, so the fact that the CL version for an agent doesn’t exactly match the CL version shown here does not automatically mean the agent is out of date.
- CL version for upgrade – Shows the minimum CL version that an agent must have before it can be upgraded. Earlier versions might be missing rules, such as approvals needed for upgrade packages, required for upgrade.
