Hi @MoussaRms 

 

We can see that the agent status is 'running and active'. This means that the agent is able to connect to the supervisor and report its health.

 

Event status being critical means that events are not being received from the collector. Some possible issues are:

 

  • Collector is down
  • Collector cannot connect to the supervisor to upload events
  • Windows agent cannot connect to the collector to upload events.

 

I hope that helps

Here is an example from my lab. Under collector health we can see the last time events were received from the collector:
