Identify Active Agents Not Reporting Data

Admins need visibility into all active agents to ensure reliable data reporting and effective license management across users and devices.

Active vs. non-reporting Agents

  • Active agents: Agents that have logged activity within the last 30 days
  • Non-reporting active agents: Agents that have stopped logging activity for 7 days or more

How to identify non-reporting Agents

The Security Audit Log provides an automated audit of all active but non-reporting agents under the ComputersNotReporting event.

Navigate to Settings > Security > Audit to view ComputersNotReporting events.

Understanding the audit log

The audit log displays the following information:

Date/Time UTC time when the report was run
ActivTrak ID “last-activity-monitor-user@bgrove.com”
Event ComputersNotReporting
Description “Active computers (logging last 30 days) not reporting in last 7 days”
Action Type Update
Action Data Move the cursor to the eye icon to view action data and open a separate window with the list of identified Computer Agents

How the audit works

The system performs weekly scans on Sundays for computers that are active but haven't reported for several consecutive days (more than a weekend or short PTO). This helps you quickly identify agents that may need to be upgraded or restarted.

Each Sunday's scan produces a single audit log entry with all computers matching the criteria. If all agents are reporting properly or don't meet the non-reporting criteria, no audit log entry is added that week.

Set up Alarms

Create an alarm to receive active notifications when these audit entries are created.
