Administration
The Administration tab allows us to review the status of all of the endpoints that are reporting to our Elastic Stack.
Additionally, we can add trusted applications that we don't want to generate alerts from. Great examples could be legacy anti-virus, asset management tools, or vulnerability scanners:
Figure 8.58 – Adding trusted applications
We can name the application, select the appropriate operating system, and define a path, filename, or hash value. We can select multiple fields, so if there is a file that is trusted but could also be abused, we could define the name, hash, and location:
Figure 8.59 – Adding trusted applications
We can monitor all of our trusted applications and see some information about them.
In this section, we discussed the administration of the Elastic Security solution, specifically the endpoints and the trusted applications.
