        The Dashboards page lets you create and configure widget-based dashboards that provide information about your network. The dashboards created here will show on the Guardian home page, and give an overview of the monitored environment.
      - Threat Intelligence
        The Threat Intelligence page lets you manage packet rules, YARA rules, Sigma rules, structured threat information expression (STIX) indicators and vulnerabilities to provide detailed threat information.
      - Data model
        The Data model page lets you create a custom field to the Nodes (All-In-One CMC only) and Assets tables. A custom field lets you add information that might be relevant to your organization, and cannot be extracted from network traffic.
      - Data integration
      - Credentials manager
        The Credentials manager is a tool that lets you centralize the management of monitored endpoints to make it easier to create, delete, or update the credentials that are needed to access those endpoints.

Tuning

A description of how you can enable, or disable, data synchronization for entities in the Central Management Console (CMC).

Tuning page (Multicontext mode) — Figure 1. Tuning page (Multicontext mode)

Tuning page (All-In-One mode) — Figure 2. Tuning page (All-In-One mode)

You can configure synchronization in the Central Management Console (CMC)s in: Administration icon - which looks like a gear cog > Synchronization settings > Tuning.

You can enable or disable the synchronization for the following entities:

Note: Some entities are only available in one of the two modes.

Assets (Multicontext mode only)
Audit items
Backup schedules
Note: When you enable Backup schedules in the CMC, the backup schedules of downstream sensors will not show in the CMC. This feature is only available in Vantage.
Node custom fields
Alerts
Node points (Smart Polling and Arc information)
Reports
Health logs
Data integrations
Zone configurations
Smart Polling (plans, executions, status information)
Node CPEs
Environment (nodes, links and variables) (All-In-One mode only)
Variables (All-In-One mode only)

The configuration is applied only to sensors directly connected to the CMC in which the configuration has been set. If the CMC has an high availability (HA) connected, the tuning must be configured in both the CMCs.

Disabling synchronization for an entity will cause the deletion of all the items in the CMC already received from the respective sensors.
