Websense data endpoints test their connectivity and check for configuration updates at time intervals specified in the endpoint system settings. The Endpoint Status screen summarizes the results of these checks. You can filter down to locate servers which have not synchronized or run discovery for an extended period of time, and also view detailed information for a particular server.

To view the status of all installed Websense data endpoints:

1.	Select Main > Status > Endpoint Status.

The resulting screen lists all Websense data endpoints registered with the Data Security Management Server. The list displays information for each endpoint, such as:

host name

IP address

logged-in users

last update time

synchronization status

discovery status (idle or running)

 

Note  The discovery status is displayed as N/A for Linux endpoints, as data discovery is not supported.

To customize the information shown in each column, click the Table Properties () button. Click here for descriptions of the information you can display.

2.	To drill down further on information for each endpoint, select an endpoint in the list. There you can view the profile name, fingerprinting version, and more.

3.	To remove an endpoint from the list, select the endpoint and click Remove.

From this screen you can also do the following:

To search for a specific endpoint in the list, in the Find host field enter the host name and click the Find button.

Click Bypass Endpoint to temporarily disable the selected endpoint. For more information, see Bypassing endpoint clients.

Click Settings to view and edit the system settings for endpoints. For more information, see Configuring endpoint settings.

 

Note  After an endpoint client receives an update and displays the new updated time, it can still take up to a minute until all policies are updated.
