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

Hello,

I checked that the collector is up.

how I can check if the connector connect to the supervisor and also check how windows agent connect to the collector?

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

You could run wireshark on one of the windows servers and make sure you can see HTTPS connections to the collector.

Lastly, make sure that the correct template is applied with the correct collector. 

You need to click apply for it to work.

Did you check the other points above?

  • Wireshark on the server?
  • Template to host association?
