01 Windows and Linux collection
Choose detailed local Agent collection or governed Linux SSH and Windows WinRM/WMI/CIM monitoring. Match the collection mode to the required evidence, operating-system profile and credential policy.
02 CPU and memory pressure
Inspect utilization, load, scheduler pressure, memory, swap, paging and commit evidence where the operating system provides them. Relate sustained pressure to the affected process or service.
03 Filesystem and block I/O
Follow capacity, inodes, throughput, IOPS, queues, latency and error evidence. Distinguish a full filesystem from an I/O bottleneck or a collection gap.
04 Network and transport health
Review NIC state, throughput, errors, drops and bounded transport counters. Bring DNS, TCP, TLS, HTTP and path tests into the host investigation.
05 Installed-software inventory
Review package or product identity, version, publisher, architecture, source and installation scope. Use observational inventory sources, preserve provenance and show installation, removal and version-change evidence without triggering installer repair.
06 Select the processes that matter
Choose a discovered process or service, inspect its durable selector and apply a monitoring policy. Track absence, termination, restart loops, instance ranges and sustained resource conditions where supported.
07 Separate criticality from policy
Use business criticality to suggest a monitoring profile or choose an explicit profile. Review inheritance, capacity impact and the resulting effective configuration before applying a change.
08 Linux process-to-network context
Connect Linux processes, systemd services and containers with socket endpoints, bytes, TCP RTT, retransmissions and connection failures through bounded eBPF evidence. Enable this additional visibility on compatible kernel, architecture and privilege profiles.
09 Triggered diagnostic evidence
Gather a short-lived Endpoint Diagnostic Snapshot for an eligible CPU, memory, filesystem, I/O, process or network condition. Show complete, partial, failed and suppressed capture states.
10 Cross-vantage investigation
Bring guest, hypervisor, storage, network and hardware observations together when those sources are available. Preserve the distinction between what the endpoint observed and what another system confirmed.
11 Logs, reboots and service history
Inspect selected operating-system, kernel and Event Log evidence alongside boot, uptime, time quality and service state. Keep resource and lifecycle changes in one investigation window.
12 Agent and monitoring health
Review Agent identity, version, heartbeat, buffer, update policy and Sensor assignment. Base host monitoring continues when optional eBPF instrumentation is unavailable, kernel-incompatible or resource-guarded.
