Agent Properties

Agent properties are specified in the adminsitrative module. You should select the necessary agent in the list to display the dialog box where you can change these properties. Select Agent Properties in the context menu. You can change its properties in the new dialog box.

Here are the main properties:

Stealth mode - specify whether the agent icon will be displayed in the tray.

Port - specify the port number via which the administrative module will exchange information with the agent. Port 1091 is used by default and it is not recommended to change it.

Additional spy ports - specify the ports (besides the default ones) that should be additionally searched for useful information. It is used in case a proxy server is used in the company.

Startup message - if specified, the user will see it each time the agent is started (the user logs on). It is used to inform the staff about the ongoing monitoring. This message is NOT SHOWN when Stealth mode is used.

Remote screenshot properties properties:

Screenshots saving - if selected, the agent periodically makes screenshots of the user's computer screen.

Saving Interval - specify how often the screenshots should be made (in minutes or seconds).

Disk quota - specify the maximum space on the disk screenshots can occupy. If this quota is exceeded, the agent will either delete the oldest screenshots or temporarily stop making screenshots (until the adminsitrative module downloads the existing ones).

Workday history properties:

History saving - if this option is enabled, the user's computer will be completely monitored and all data will be chronologically saved for reports to be later built.

Idle interval - the interval for refreshing data for agent reports. It is recommended to leave the default 5 minutes.

Active from ... to ... - the time when the computer is monitored. If the user's computer is constantly switched on and the workday is limited, you can reduce the amount of information by specifying the interval from 9:00 to 19:00, for example.

Disk quota - specify the maximum space on the disk the saved information can occupy. If this quota is exceeded, the agent will either delete the oldest information or temporarily stop saving data (until the administrative module downloads the existing data).

File monitoring properties:

File patterns - the list of comma-separated file masks to monitor. It is not recommended to set the mask to *.* because a lot of unnecessary information will be saved in reports.

Applications - the list of exe-files of the programs. Only files touched by these applications will be monitored

Exclude specified documents - inverse the selection. That is, if you set the mask to *.exe, the agent will monitor all files except for *.exe.
