Managing Endpoints via the Portal

The Myrmex Portal is your central command center for deploying agents and monitoring the health of your infrastructure.

​
Endpoint Registration

The platform offers multiple ways to provision new agents depending on your deployment scale.

​
1. Register Single Device

Ideal for manual installation on a specific workstation or server.
  • Path: Integrations → Endpoint List → Add Endpoint → Register Single Device.
  • Process: Fill in the device metadata (Name, Context, OS, Severity), then go to the Command Line tab to copy the installation string.

​
2. Collector Registration (Guided Flow)

Specifically for setting up the agent in Collector Mode.
  • Path: Integrations → Add Collector.
  • Step 1: Provide device identification.
  • Step 2: Execute the generated installation commands.
  • Step 3: Validate Collector to ensure bidirectional connectivity is established.

​
Authorization & Status

Safety is paramount. Every new agent must be explicitly authorized before it can stream telemetry or execute actions.

​
Device Cards

In the Endpoint List, each device is represented by a card showing:
  • Hostname & OS: The physical identity of the device.
  • Status (Online/Offline): Determined by continuous heartbeat checks.
  • Authorization: Authorized (Active) or Unauthorized (Pending).

​
Managing Authorization

If a device appears as Unauthorized:
  1. Open the device’s action menu (three dots).
  2. Select Authorize.
  3. Confirm the device details in the Endpoint Authorization panel.

​
Operational Control

From the portal, you can trigger remote actions directly on the endpoint agent.
  • Service Control: Start, Stop, or Restart the agent service.
  • Monitoring: Adjust granular monitoring parameters and toggle real-time collection.
  • Inventory Details:
    • Inventory Tab: View host specs, CPU/Memory graphs, and hardware diagnostics.
    • Integrations Tab: See which sub-agents and specialized tools are active on this device.

​
Status Logic & Timeouts

The portal uses specific intervals to determine device health:
  • Heartbeat Timeout: If an agent doesn’t check in within the AGENT_MAX_OFFLINE_TIME (default 600s), it is marked Offline.
  • Sync Interval: The system refreshes connection states every 60s.
Actions and telemetry require the device to be both Online and Authorized.
