# Hosts

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](../../docs/axoflow/onboard-hosts/log-tapping/index.md).
