AD Audit
- Ryan Seymour
You can find this module at the Company level only.
This syncing process starts from the agent action menu and syncs Active Directory data every 15 minutes. It includes data for AD Users, Computers, OUs, and Groups.
We are triggering Alerts by taking the data from AD Audit and mapping this against the AD Audit Event Set Group, as shown below.
NOTE: AD Audit is only supported on a ‘Domain Controller’ where Active Directory Services and Role(s) are installed.
NOTE: The AD Audit Event Set alerts are available for any integration that supports the Event Set options. You must be inside one of the integration tiles to see the ‘Event Set’ section:

Layout Settings
Here, you can change the UI look and feel using various options, including the Theme for color, the Scheme for dark and light mode, the Layout for toolbar and module positions, and the toggle to set the table view default.
I prefer the Teal color, Light mode, and Classic layout with an asset table view.
