Introduction

The Local Systems page provides a view of systems detected within your organization's environment through Field Effect network sensors. This page helps administrators discover devices on the network, investigate observed systems, and identify whether a system has been correlated with a managed Endpoint Agent.

Use this page to:

• Review systems observed by network sensors
• Locate systems by IP address, host name, or domain
• Identify systems with or without Endpoint Agents
• Investigate newly discovered devices
• Export system information for further analysis

This article covers the following topics:

• Access and Navigate the Local Systems Page
  • List View
  • View System Details
• Customize Columns
• Search for Local Systems
• Sort and Filter Results
• Export Results

Access and Navigate the Local Systems Page

The Local Systems page is accessible from the sidebar's Network section. 

List View

The main view (shown above) displays a table of unique systems identified within your organization's environment through network sensor observations.

You can:

• Resize columns
• Reorder columns
• Show or hide columns
• Sort and filter results

The following columns are available:

• DHCP
• Domain Name
• First Seen (UTC)
• Host Name
• IP Address
• Last Seen (UTC)
• MAC Address
• NetBIOS
• OS Name
• SSDP
• Serial Number

View System Details

Select a row to display additional information about the selected system in the details pane below the table. If the system has been correlated with an Endpoint Agent, additional links and information may be available.

To view the details pane in a larger format, select the Expand icon. Where available, selecting the Host Name link opens the associated system's detailed view for further investigation.

Customize Columns

You can customize the table to display only the information that is relevant to your investigation.

To modify visible columns:

1. Select Edit Columns.
2. Select the columns you want displayed.
3. Clear the columns you want hidden.
4. Select Apply.

Columns that are not selected will not appear in the table.

You can also adjust column widths by dragging the edge of a column header and sort a column by selecting its header.

Search for Local Systems

Use the search bar to quickly locate systems or create advanced filters.

You can:

• Use predefined searches such as Systems with Agents or Systems Without Agents
• Build custom searches using specific columns and operators
• Perform keyword searches

To create a custom search:

1. Select a column.
2. Select a search operator such as Contains, Is, Is Not, or Is Null.
3. Select a suggested value or enter your own value.

Suggestions are generated based on the data currently available in the table.

Example Searches

• Find systems associated with a specific domain
• Locate a system by IP address
• Show systems that do not have a correlated Endpoint Agent
• Identify systems missing data in a specific field

Sort and Filter Results

To sort the list, select a column header to toggle between ascending and descending order.

You can also use the search interface's Order By option to sort results.

To filter the list:

• Use Is Not to exclude specific values
• Use Is Null to display records where a selected field contains no value

As you build filters, matching values and suggestions are displayed to help refine your search.

Supported Date Formats

When filtering date and time fields, the following formats are supported:

• 2022-11-22T16:35:42
• 2022-11-22T16:35:42Z
