Computer errors
State
|
Description
|
Communication error

|
An instruction was sent to the agent when it was not yet activated.
|
Unable to communicate with Agent
|
Unable to communicate with agent.
|
Protocol Error
|
Communication failure at the IP, TCP, or HTTP layer.
For example, if the Server & Workload Protection IPaddress is unreachable because
the connection is being blocked by a firewall, router, or AWS
security group, then it would cause a connection to fail. To
resolve the error, verify that the activation port
number is allowed and that a route exists.
|
Deactivation Required
|
The agent is currently activated by another Server & Workload Protection account
or Deep Security Manager.
|
No Agent
|
No agent was detected on the target.
|
No valid software version

agent.
|
Installation in Progress

Not Supported/Update Not Supported
|
A matching software package was found on the agent, but it does not contain a module
supported by the platform. "Not Supported" or "Update Not Supported" is displayed
depending on whether there is already a version of this module installed on the agent.
|
Perform other actions on your computers
On the Computers page, the Actions button provides several actions that you can perform on the selected computers.
Action
|
Description
|
||||
Check Status
|
Checks the status of a computer without performing a scan or activation attempt.
|
||||
Activate/Reactivate
|
Activates or reactivates the agent on the computer. See Activate the agent
|
||||
Deactivate
|
You may want to transfer control of a computer from one Deep Security Manager installation
(or
Server & Workload Protection) to another. If
so, the agent has to be deactivated and then activated again by
the new manager or Server & Workload Protection.
|
||||
Assign Policy
|
Opens a window with a list that allows you to assign a policy to the computer. The
name of the policy assigned to the computer will appear in the Policy column on the Computers page.
|
||||
Send Policy
|
When you use Server & Workload Protection to change the configuration of an agent
on a computer (apply a new intrusion prevention rule, change
logging settings, etc.), Server & Workload Protection has to send the new
information to the agent. This is a Send Policy instruction.
Policy updates usually happen immediately but you can force an
update by clicking Send Policy.
|
||||
Download Security Update
|
Downloads the latest security update from the configured relay to the agent. See Apply security updates.
|
||||
Rollback Security Update
|
Rolls back the latest security update for the agent.
|
||||
Get Events
|
Override the normal event retrieval schedule (usually every heartbeat) and retrieve
the event logs from the computer(s) now.
|
||||
Clear Warnings/Errors
|
Use this command to clear all warnings and errors for the computer. This command is
useful in these situations:
|
||||
Upgrade Agent Software
|
See Upgrade software.
|
||||
Scan for Recommendations
|
Server & Workload Protection can scan computers and then make recommendations for
Security Rules. The results of a recommendation scan appear in
the computer's Details window in the
Rules pages. See Manage and run recommendation scans.
|
||||
Clear Recommendations
|
Clears rule recommendations resulting from a recommendation scan on this computer.
Clearing also removes the computer from those listed in an alert produced as a result
of a recommendation scan.
|
||||
Full Scan for Malware
|
Performs a full malware scan on the selected computers. The actions taken by a full
scan depend on the Malware Manual Scan Configuration in effect on this computer. See Malware Scan Configurations.
|
||||
Quick Scan for Malware
|
Scans critical system areas for currently active threats. Quick Scan looks for currently-active
malware but does not perform deep file scans to look for dormant or stored infected
files. On larger drives, Quick Scan is significantly faster than a Full Scan.
|
||||
Scan for Open Ports
|
Performs a port scan on all selected computers and checks the agent installed on the
computer
to determine whether its state is either Deactivation Required,
Activation Required, Agent Reactivate Required, or Online. The scan
operation, by default, scans ports 1-1024. This range can be changed
in Computer or Policy editor > Settings >
General.
|
||||
Cancel Currently Executing Port Scans
|
If you have initiated a set of port scans to a large number of computers or over a
large range of ports and the scan is taking too long, use the Cancel Currently Executing Port Scans option to cancel the scans.
|
||||
Scan for integrity
|
Integrity Monitoring tracks changes to a computer's system and files. It does by creating
a baseline and then performing periodic scans to compare the current state of the
computer to the baseline. For more information see Set up Integrity Monitoring.
|
||||
Rebuild Integrity Baseline
|
Rebuilds a baseline for Integrity Monitoring on this computer.
|
||||
Assign Asset Value
|
Asset values allow you to sort computers and events by importance. The various security
rules have a severity value. When rules are triggered on a computer, the severity
values of the rules are multiplied by the asset value of the computer. This value
is used to rank events in order of importance. See Rank events to quantify their importance.
|
||||
Assign a Relay Group
|
To select a relay group for this computer to download updates from, right-click the
computer and choose Actions > Assign a Relay Group.
