Description

Agent registered

Agent scanned

Shows the number of scanned agents.

Agent outdated

An agent is considered as any other scan and therefor licensed as such. An agent that performs a scan will require one (1) license from your license pool. When an asset is also being scanned from an external scanner it also will require a license. If an agent AND a external scanner both scans the same asset, it will require two (2) licenses as it is seen as two (2) different assets.
