# DISCOVER Devices DISCOVER Devices shows the list of DISCOVER scanning agents, which are the Windows service that sits between the Management Console and the target to perform scans and remediations. The Management Console sends jobs to the agent, which performs the work and returns the results to the management console. An agent can be installed on a Windows endpoint, a Windows server, or a Windows VM. If installed on the same device being scanned, it performs a local scan. If installed on a separate host or a scanning server, it connects to target devices remotely and performs agentless scans. Beyond scanning devices, file servers, and cloud services for sensitive data, the agents execute other core operational tasks, including discovering new targets within specified network ranges or cloud environments, downloading files for investigations, executing remediation actions, and reporting results and status back to the Management Console. Multiple agents can be deployed across your network to distribute the workload and ensure comprehensive coverage. Each agent operates independently but is centrally managed through the Management Console. ![](/files/1c1897a555136333464b180354848c9ef3518244) 1. Navigate to **Devices** > **DISCOVER** to view all deployed DISCOVER agents in your environment, including their current operational status, CPU, memory, disk utilisation, and assigned targets. ## Request Logs The agent logs all activities performed by the agent. Use logs to troubleshoot issues, audit system activity, provide compliance documentation, and analyse agent performance. * **Scan Logs**: Record scanning activity, including which targets were scanned, what data types were searched, files examined, sensitive data detected, and any errors encountered. * **Target Discovery Logs**: Record discovery operations, including IP ranges or cloud services searched, devices or services found, authentication successes and failures, and connectivity issues. * **Investigation Logs**: Record file download activities, including which files were requested, download success or failure, duration, and permission errors. * **Remediation Logs**: Record remediation actions, including which files were moved, copied, or deleted, action success or failure, secure location targets, and errors preventing completion. * **Service Logs**: Record general agent operations, including service starts and stops, configuration changes, Management Console communication, resource usage, and system errors. ![](/files/7f795686ece9521ec933fd3d23b09c7eb2a3eb6a) 1. Navigate to **Devices** > **DISCOVER** and select the agent whose logs you need. 2. In the agent details page, click **Request Log** and enter the following details: * **Log Type**: Select one from the drop-down (Scan, Target Discovery, Investigation, Remediation, or Service). * **From Date**: Select the start date for the log period. * **To Date**: Select the end date for the log period. 3. Click **Request Logs**. DISCOVER generates the log file, which may take some time depending on the date range and activity volume. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
