Machines List
The Machine List displays all PCs detected by the automatic process and other log sources registered in BusinessLog.
-
Red: last scan completed with errors (look at "Internal Events" for details).
-
Yellow: machine currently under scanning.
-
Green: last scan completed successfully.
The following data is shown:
-
Last Scan: date and time of the last log scan.
-
Last Login: date and time of the last interactive login.
-
Available Space: free space on drive C (in GB).
-
Scan Time: duration of the remote scan in minutes.
-
RT: shows whether the machine is monitored by BLogRT.
-
Client Version: expected RT client version, shown in red if different from the installed version.
-
IP: IP address used to resolve the machine name through DNS reverse lookup.
-
User: last user who logged into the machine.
-
Type: machine type (WIN, SYS, or RT).
The following machine scanning controls are available:
-
[Force Inventory]: starts the machine scan within one minute.
-
[Schedule Scan]: schedules the machine for the next available scan.
NOTE: Machines not included in an active licence are displayed in grey rows, even if selected..
Machines counted for licensing purposes are:
-
WIN: selected Windows machines.
-
RT: machines registered with the RT agent.
-
SYS: machines or devices registered via Syslog.
Google Workspace
When the first Google Workspace log is received, BusinessLog automatically creates a “Google” entry, as it does for Azure.
This entry represents the Google Workspace log source, not a physical workstation.
New
The [New] button allows manual entry of a machine name or IP address..
Details
Clicking the [Details] icon while a machine is selected opens its corresponding "Technical details" window including the following tabs :
-
Technical sheet
-
Software inventory
-
Hardware inventory
-
System updates
-
Local users list
-
Session list
-
Scheduled tasks
-
Power consumption
-
CVE
-
Shares
-
Technical Sheet
Within this section, selected machine settings can be modified.
The list on the right displays all users who have logged into the machine.
Dedicated fields show available space on drive C. A threshold alert can be configured by entering a value in the "Space Alert" field.
General settings
These settings allow simultaneous updating of specified parameters across all machines. This approach is useful for applying a general configuration and then managing exceptions individually.
-
Keep Application: prevents the Application log category from being cleared, useful when machines generate informational or error messages from business applications
-
Clear Logs: clears the Application and Security log categories at each scan cycle, helping maintain clean logs and reduce the risk of corruption
-
PowerShell Collection: when PowerShell command logging is enabled, includes all PowerShell executions performed on the machines
Info button
-
Network FlowChart
Clicking [Info] > [Network FlowChart] from the Machine List generates a network map in HTML format.
The map represents the logical structure of the network and its main connections, organizing machines and devices according to their roles.
Available roles include servers, clients, firewalls, routers, NAS devices, and printers.
Cloud connectors, such as Azure and Google, are also displayed when present.
The controls at the top allow you to:
-
Search for an item by name, IP address, or group.
-
Filter the view by category.
-
Zoom in or out of the map using the zoom buttons.
If a machine's role has not been correctly identified, you can manually specify it by opening the machine's [Details] and modifying the [Role] field.
The map can be exported in SVG and PNG formats, or printed and saved as a PDF using the [Print / PDF] button.
Info Button
-
Full Test
By selecting a machine in the Machine List and clicking [Info] > [Full Test], you can run a series of checks to identify potential communication and data access issues on the machine.
In addition to checking ports, the test performs access and data reading checks on the remote machine.
The checks include:
-
Machine name resolution and verification of the corresponding IP address.
-
Machine reachability and communication port checks.
-
Windows Registry queries for software and hardware inventory information.
-
System data retrieval via WMI and CIM.
-
Access to shared resources, services, scheduled tasks, and local user and group information.
-
Reading of Security, Application, and System event logs.
-
Verification of access via PowerShell Remoting.
Some checks are performed on a sample of data and do not constitute a complete inventory.
Once the test is completed, an HTML diagnostic report is generated, providing a summary of passed and failed checks, along with detailed results for each test.
An open port does not guarantee successful authenticated access or data retrieval. Therefore, it is important to review the results of the access tests and any error messages.
Report Summary: Example of a diagnostic report summary showing the number of passed and failed checks.
Remote Data Retrieval Example: Example of a check verifying system data retrieval via WMI/DCOM and CIM/WSMan.
