Inspectors (Liongard)

When a Liongard integration is active, an Inspectors tab appears showing configuration audit data from Liongard for all non-device inspector types. Device-level inspectors (like Windows Workstation) appear on individual devices in the Devices module instead. This tab is designed for browsing cloud and infrastructure inspectors such as Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, firewalls, DNS providers, and backup systems that audit a service or environment rather than a single device.

Browsing by Inspector Type

A sidebar on the left lists all non-device inspector types discovered in your Liongard instance (e.g., Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Firewall, Duo, AWS). Each type shows a count of how many systems use it. Click an inspector type to see all systems of that type in the main area.

System List

The system list shows:
ColumnDescription
System NameThe inspected system name (click for details)
CompanyWhich company the system belongs to
Last InspectedWhen Liongard last audited this system
StatusActive or inactive

System Detail View

Click any system to see its full configuration audit data:
  • Summary Cards: Pass, fail, and warning counts with clickable filtering
  • System Overview: System name, environment, inspector type, and last inspection timestamp
  • Security Metrics: Dedicated section for security-related checks (firewall, encryption, MFA, antivirus)
  • Inspected Metrics: All other configuration metrics with current values and pass/fail/warning status
  • Recent Changes: Configuration change detections with inline diffs showing what was added or removed
Use the search bar to find specific metrics by name or value. Click Expand/Collapse to toggle all metric details at once.
Inspector types that are mapped as device types in your integration settings appear on the Devices page instead of here. This keeps the Inspectors tab focused on cloud and infrastructure audits.

Company Filtering

All tabs respect the company selector in the header. Select a specific company to see only that company’s articles, assets, passwords, procedures, and inspectors.
