Agent Deployment & Management

Deploy and manage the Sentry endpoint protection agent across your organization's devices.

Agent Deployment

Installation

Deploy the Sentry agent to team devices:

1. Generate Enrollment Commands: Navigate to Endpoint Protection and click "Enroll New Device"

2. OS-Specific Instructions: Copy the installation command for each platform:

   • macOS: Single-line terminal command

   • Windows: PowerShell script

   • Linux: Bash script with package manager options

3. Agent Installation: Team members run the command on their devices with administrative privileges

4. Automatic Enrollment: Devices appear in Sentry within minutes

Device Management

Device Inventory:

• View all enrolled devices

• See device owners and types

• Track last seen timestamps

• Monitor agent health status

Agent Updates: The endpoint agent automatically updates with new policies and detection capabilities.

Unenrollment: Remove devices that are no longer in use or when team members leave.

Best Practices

Universal Deployment: Require all team members to enroll their devices, including contractors and part-time staff.

Onboarding Integration: Include endpoint agent installation in employee onboarding checklists.

BYOD Policies: For teams using personal devices, define minimum security requirements and verify compliance via endpoint monitoring.

The Sentry agent is lightweight and runs with minimal system impact. It uses less than 50MB of memory and has negligible CPU usage during normal operation.
