Host Agent and Assets

Host Agent data enriches Assets / CMDB with detailed endpoint inventory. Records are matched to existing assets when possible (typically by MAC address or hostname rules configured for your tenant).

What appears in the CMDB

After you approve an agent, Monozu Cloud receives periodic snapshots containing:

Hostname and FQDN
Operating system and version
CPU, memory, and disk summary
Network interfaces and MAC addresses
Installed software list

Fields visible in the asset detail page depend on your tenant version and asset type.

Discovery vs Host Agent

Signal	Source	Typical use
New host on VLAN	Edge discovery	Find devices the network sees
OS / software detail	Host Agent	Accurate inventory on managed endpoints
Manual record	Administrator	Assets discovery cannot see

Review workflow

Open Assets / CMDB and sort by Last updated or filter by discovery source when available.
Open the asset and confirm Site, Zone, and Criticality.
Resolve duplicates: merge or decommission stale records per your change process.
Link the asset to incidents, changes, or vulnerabilities as usual.

Data freshness

Inventory refreshes on a schedule and when significant changes occur on the host.
If an agent is revoked or the host is offline for an extended period, the asset may show stale software data — check Last seen or equivalent fields in the UI.
