Getting Started

Once Netwrix Activity Monitor is installed, the following workflow enables organizations to quickly and easily get started with activity monitoring.

Requirements​

The Activity Monitor console needs to be installed on a server. After that agents are deployed to the target environment and configured to monitor activity. It is necessary to prepare the target environment and configure the credentials used by the agents. Each supported environment has different requirements. See the following topics for additional information:

Install & Deploy Agents​

Once the prerequisites are accomplished, you are ready to install the application and deploy agents. See the following topics for additional information:

Configure Monitoring​

After the agents have been deployed, you can configure the monitoring of the target environment. For Windows File Servers, this can be done at the same time as the agent is deployed, but for all other target environments it is done after the agent is deployed. You will configure what will be monitored as well as where the collected data will go (outputs). See the following topics for additional information:

Search Activity Event Data​

You can query the activity logs created by the activity agents from within the console. Using the search feature, set filters for the query to view monitored events. See the Search Feature topic for additional information.
