RxLog DocsAgents
Agents are collectors that run on your machines and forward logs RxLog.
An agent is a lightweight daemon process you install on a host. It collects system events, audit logs, and files, then sends them to RxLog. The Agents page is where you view every agent, check its status, and register new ones.
What the page shows
Each row is one agent. The columns tell you:
- Hostname. The name of the machine. A
maintag marks your primary host. - Public IP and Private IPs. Where the agent is reachable.
- Collector. A green dot means the collector is running.
- Last Active. When the agent last sent data. "Just now" means it is healthy.
You can filter by operating system, search by name, and select agents to run actions on them. The Statistics and Installations tabs give you more detail on each agent.
How to use it
Installing an agent takes one command. You don't download or configure anything by hand — pick your operating system, copy the command, and paste it into a terminal on the host. The command downloads the installer, verifies its checksum, installs and starts the agent, registers it with your workspace, and cleans up after itself.
In the dialog, click Copy to copy the installation command. On Windows, pick PowerShell or CMD first — the command is tailored to the shell you choose.
Paste the command into a terminal on the host and run it. On Windows, open PowerShell or Command Prompt as Administrator before pasting. Everything else — download, verification, install, and startup — is handled automatically.
The command embeds your workspace registration key, so the agent authenticates and registers itself with no extra steps. If you prefer to install manually, the dialog also offers a direct download of the installer.
If an agent shows No Response or Never Used, check that the collector service is running on the host and can reach RxLog.
