Hosts

Find hosts, read their details and services, and add custom labels to sources, edge hosts, and AxoRouter instances.

Axoflow collects and shows you a wealth of information about the hosts of your security data pipeline. Sources and edge hosts are listed on the Sources page, while AxoRouters are shown on the Routers page.

  • Sources are hosts that are sending data to a data aggregator, like AxoRouter.
  • Edges are source hosts that are running a collector agent managed by AxoConsole, or have an Axolet agent reporting metrics from the host.

To tap into the logs of the host, see Log tapping.


Find a host

Find a host with global search, on the Topology page, or on the Routers and Sources pages.

Host information

The hostname, labels, and other details that AxoConsole shows about sources, edge hosts, and AxoRouter instances.

Custom labels and metadata

Add static custom labels to a host, so you can filter, route, and analyze its data by owner, location, or any other property.

Bulk update hosts

Export your host inventory to CSV, edit labels and descriptions offline, and import the file to update many hosts at once.

Services

Check which collector and router services run on a managed host, and their versions.
