Agent Health allows administrators to ensure optimal performance of their Ivanti Neurons agents within their estate. By providing a centralized and actionable overview of Agent Health, it simplifies the process of identifying and resolving issues that can disrupt operations.

• Proactive monitoring and diagnosis: Agent Health enables administrators to self-diagnose issues without relying on vendor support. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and enhances the reliability of your Ivanti Neurons implementation.

• Comprehensive agent filtering: Administrators can quickly filter views to show agents that are overdue for check-in, missing entirely, or have been duplicated. This feature ensures that no endpoint issues go unnoticed, allowing for prompt corrective action. Learn more about health filtering.

• Intuitive traffic light system: The health of each agent is visually categorized using a traffic light system:

  • Green (Good): Agents operating as expected.

  • Amber (Moderate): Agents with minor issues that may require attention.

  • Red (Poor): Agents with critical problems that need immediate resolution.
    
    This visual system makes it easy to prioritize troubleshooting efforts and focus on the most urgent issues. Learn more about the health indicators.

• Detailed drill-down analysis: For agents marked as Moderate or Poor, administrators can drill-down into individual agent endpoints to access detailed insights into specific issues. This granular visibility accelerates root-cause analysis, ensuring faster time to resolution.

• Integrated Help resources: Built-in links to Help content provide remediation assistance tailored to the identified issues. These resources empower administrators to resolve problems efficiently without extensive technical expertise.

Agent Health not only enhances operational efficiency but also boosts confidence in Ivanti Neurons implementations by providing the tools and information needed to resolve issues independently. It reduces the time and effort spent on troubleshooting, mitigates potential security risks, and ensures a seamless user experience.
