🖥️ Agent Features

Lightweight Windows agents with intelligent filtering, local failover, and secure data transmission

📡 How Agents Feed the Database

💻

Windows Agents

~11MB memory
Collect Event Logs

➡️
🌐

HTTPS (TLS 1.2+)

Encrypted transmission
Port 5443

➡️
🗄️

PostgreSQL Database

Unlimited size
13-month retention

🔄 How it works: Agents poll Windows Event Log every 60 seconds → Send new events via HTTPS → PostgreSQL stores with DPAPI encryption → Dashboard queries for instant search.
🛡️ No data loss: If the Dashboard is unreachable, events save to local SQLite fallback. Auto-drain when connection restores.
📦

Simple Deployment

MSI installer. Deploy via GPO, SCCM, Intune, or manual install. No Python, no containers, no cloud dependencies.

⚡

Low Resource Footprint

~11MB memory per agent. Minimal CPU impact — designed for production servers with thousands of agents.

♾️

Unlimited Agents

No per-agent licensing fees. Deploy on 10 or 10,000+ Windows servers at no additional cost.

🔄

Auto-Update

Agents check for updates automatically. Optional manual control for air-gapped environments.

🔒

Secure Communication

All agent-to-dashboard traffic encrypted with HTTPS (TLS 1.2/1.3). No database credentials stored on agents.

💾

Local Fallback Database

SQLite cache if central DB unreachable. Events replay automatically. 7-day auto-purge prevents disk bloat.

🔇 Agent-Level Noise Filtering — Three Tiers

All filtering happens before events leave the monitored machine — reducing database growth, network traffic, and dashboard clutter

TierMechanismWhat it does
Tier 1 — WhitelistNIST SP 800-92 protected event IDsSecurity-critical event IDs bypass the dynamic filter entirely — even during burst conditions.
Tier 2 — Static blacklistAlways-drop exclusionsHigh-volume, zero-security-value events dropped unconditionally — WFP traffic, Kerberos success noise, service state changes.
Tier 3 — Dynamic filterLearned per-machine patternsTracks frequency of each event pattern; suppresses repetitive noise automatically. Suppression always expires — nothing is permanently silenced.

🔒 Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade security that meets NIST SP 800-53 standards

🔐

Encryption in Transit

HTTPS (TLS 1.2/1.3) between all components — browser, dashboard, and agents.

💿

Encryption at Rest

Windows DPAPI with AES-256 encryption for logs and credentials.

🔑

API Key Authentication

No database credentials stored on agents. Revocable API keys for secure communication.

👥

Active Directory / LDAP

Full LDAP authentication with security group-based access control.

👤

Role-Based Access Control

Granular permissions: Viewer, Analyst, Admin, Auditor.
