Viewing GuardPoints

The Status Bar on the GuardPoints tab of a client shows the total number of GuardPoints on the client, and inactive, disabled, active, and unknown GuardPoints. The Status Bar contains the following tabs:

• Total GuardPoints: Shows the total number of GuardPoints with all types of health status.

• Inactive: Shows the number of inactive GuardPoints. An inactive GuardPoint is enabled but not yet applied.

• Disabled: Shows the number of disabled GuardPoints. The CTE client does not enforce protection on disabled GuardPoints. However, references to the GuardPoints exist in the CipherTrust Manager configuration.

• Active: Shows the number of active GuardPoints. An active GuardPoint is deployed successfully and connection to the CTE Agent is healthy. The CTE client enforces protection on active GuardPoints.

• Unknown: Shows the number of GuardPoints whose status is unclear.

Click each tab to filter the GuardPoints. The GuardPoints list displays details of the GuardPoints on the client.

To view the GuardPoints created on a client:

1. Open the Transparent Encryption application.

2. Click Clients > Clients.

3. Under Client Name, click the desired client. The GuardPoints tab shows the GuardPoints configured on the client.
