{% hint style="info" %}
You are new at Enginsight? Why don't you have a look at the [Start Guide](/docs/manual/english/operation/start-guide.md) first to get a detailed explanation of the basic functions of Enginsight.
{% endhint %}

Here you will find a detailed explanation of the various areas and all functions of the Enginsight platform.

* [**Dashboard**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/dashboard.md)\
  Get a first overview of your systems in the dashboard. At [Activities](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/dashboard.md#activities) you will find the logging of all user actions. In addition, the [Asset Operation Center](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/dashboard.md#asset-operation-center), the [Partner Operation Center](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/dashboard.md#partner-operation-center) and the Management View of the [configurations ](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/dashboard.md#configurations)are located here.
* [**Issues**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/issues.md)\
  Get a list of all triggered alerts. You can also define [maintenance periods](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/issues.md#maintenance-periods) in which no alerts should be triggered.
* [**Hosts (Pulsar-Agent)**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/legacy/hosts-agent-pulsar.md)\
  Monitor your servers and clients with the Pulsar-Agent permanently from inside. In addition to the classic monitoring, [intrusion detection](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/legacy/hosts-agent-pulsar/intrusion-detection-system.md), [software inventory](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/legacy/hosts-agent-pulsar/software-inventory.md) and [CVE scans](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/legacy/hosts-agent-pulsar/host-details.md#vulnabilities) are included.
* [**Endpoints (Observer)**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/endpunkte.md)\
  Establish a security monitoring of your websites, IP addresses and domains with the Observer. For example, permanently scan for [availability](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/endpunkte/endpoint-details.md#website), [SSL/TLS](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/endpunkte/endpoint-details.md#ssltls), [DNS](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/endpunkte/endpoint-details.md#dns) and [CVE](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/endpunkte/endpoint-details.md#vulnerabilities).
* [**Observations**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/observations.md)\
  Use the Watchdog to perform IP monitoring without rolling out an agent on your devices. Monitor availability with [Ping-](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/observations.md#ping-monitoring)and [Port](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/observations.md#port-monitoring)-Checks or monitor network devices via [SNMP](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/observations.md#snmp).
* [**Shield**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/shield.md)\
  Define [manual](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/shield.md#manual-blocking) and [dynamic](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/shield.md#dynamic-blocking) rule sets to block network connections. This way, you establish a host-based intrusion prevention system (IPS) and can manage your network traffic.
* [**Penetration Testing**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/penetration-testing.md)\
  Use the Hacktor to perform fully automated penetration tests on individual assets or your entire IT infrastructure and audit yourself.
* [**Discoveries**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/discoveries.md)\
  Permanently scan your entire network with the Watchdog for new assets, take an [inventory](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/discoveries.md#inventory) of your IT and create an automatic [visualization](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/discoveries.md#asset-map).
* [**SIEM**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/siem.md)\
  With intuitive dashboards and easy-to-use tools, the SIEM gives you a comprehensive view of your entire security posture so you can quickly identify potential threats and take targeted countermeasures.
* [**Alerts**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/alarme.md)\
  Set alerts on system events and be notified of anomalies or security incidents.
* [**Settings**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/einstellungen.md)\
  Make personal settings. For example, add new team members or manage [user roles](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/einstellungen.md#roles).

## Cross-plattform functions

* [**Organisations**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/organisations.md)\
  Create multiple organisations and access them with a common account.
* [**Tags**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/tags.md)\
  Tags can be assigned to all assets across all modules, for example to switch an alert to multiple devices.
* [**Searchbar**](/docs/manual/english/operation/platform/searchbar.md)\
  Wherever data is presented in list form in Enginsight, you will find a search bar to search and filter the information.
