Using the Platform¶

Use this section for daily Borealis work: sites, inventory, approvals, filters, automation, alerts, remote operations, access management, and Engine administration.

Fleet¶

• Sites - create site containers, copy install commands, and start onboarding.
• Site Assignments - control which sites non-admin operators can see.
• Device Auditing - read inventory, status, activity, and Agent health.
• Device Approvals - approve or reject newly enrolled agents.
• Device Filters - build reusable dynamic target sets.
• Metadata Fields - label and fill custom device metadata.

Operations¶

• Remote Desktop - launch shared browser VNC sessions.
