Action1 5 Documentation 5 Data Collected by Action1 Agent

Data Collected by Action1 Agent

Action1 comes with 30+ script templates to help you query your infrastructure and pull data from the managed endpoints in a structured way. A template that queries data from the endpoints represents a data source. Using the data sources available out of the box, you can create custom reports and search for data you are interested in, such as disk volume or logged-on users. See also: Software Inventory

How It Works

When you run a query:

  1. Action1 Cloud contacts your endpoints to query information, temporarily caches the query results in the cloud, and then shows it to you in the web console or sends via email (for scheduled queries).
  2. After that, your endpoint data is permanently deleted from Action1 Cloud.
  3. As a result, you always have up-to-date live information from your endpoints (instead of out-of-date data collected hours or even days ago).

Action1 maintains the list of your managed endpoints, which includes:

  • Computer names
  • IP addresses
  • Connection statistics

It also performs short-term caching of your endpoint data in the Action1 Cloud for efficiency purposes.

Action1 also stores some diagnostic information (see Logs ) for 7 days. If you want any of this data to be deleted sooner than stated, contact technical support.
