Work with Hosts and Agents in Windows Host Wizard

After the hosts appear, you can select and take action on one or multiple hosts at a time. The selections and actions can all be performed through the context menu. Use sorting, filtering, and grouping in conjunction with the check/uncheck displayed context menu commands to check the action column for the computers you want to add to your deployment. Examine the IP address, agent version, unregistered log sources, and errors to uncheck the action column for those computers which should not be added to the deployment.

   • New Hosts. Lists the new hosts that will be added to the deployment. A read-only preview of records that will be created if the wizard changes are accepted.

   • New System Monitor Agents. Lists the new system monitor agents that will be added to the deployment. A read-only preview of records that will be created if the wizard changes are accepted.
