Working with a Host

When an Event is saved in an Event Database, or a Scanner Event is imported to an Event Database from a scanner (see What are Scanner Events?), TLC performs an NSlookup to identify the Event's Host. A Host is either:

The system with the Log Source that generated a log message resulting in the creation of an Event in an Event Database, or

A system identified by a Scanner Event in an Event Database (i.e. a system with a vulnerability or port identified by a scanner).

To query an Event Database for information about Hosts:

1. In the side bar, select Events >Event-Database ViewerEvent-Database Viewer.
2. In the side bar of the Event-Database Viewer, select Hosts or a Host-field value under Hosts.
3. In the workspace table, double-click the Host. TLC opens the Host Details tab (see Table 111).

Tip

You can sort, group, and filter the contents of tables. For more information, see Working with Tables).
