Getting Started

A short path from empty console to monitoring your first devices. Each step links to the detailed how‑to.

1. Add your first devices

  • Full monitoring (servers/workstations) — deploy the agent: generate an install token and run the one‑liner. See Deploy the Agent.
  • Agentless (SSH hosts, network gear, ping checks) — add them manually. See Add a Device.

Your devices show up in Fleet within seconds.

2. See them working

Open a device to its Overview and Metrics to confirm live data, and use the Terminal or RDP for remote access — all through the agent tunnel, no open ports.

3. Get notified

Set up Alerts — a rule (e.g. CPU > 90%) plus a recipient (email/SMS) — so DashX tells you when something needs attention.

4. Invite your team

Add teammates under Admin → Users with the right role (Viewer / Operator / Admin), and turn on 2FA.

5. Go further

When you're ready, explore Network access control (RADIUS/NAC, MFA, TACACS+), Vulnerabilities & patching, and Automation.
