  • The Admin Log page — The Admin log page lets security administrators view the audit information contained in the Tachyon logs. It shows any notifications that have been generated by the Switch, Core and Workflow components. It also displays audit information related to installation, permissions, product pack and consumer related operations carried out using Tachyon Explorer.
  • The Agent installer page — The Agent installer page is part of a feature that is currently under development and for use with the new Tachyon Discovery product, which is due for release in the coming months. To enable Tachyon Agents to be rolled out across a network in conjunction with the network discovery piece, this page lets you select the Tachyon Agent installer you want to use for the installation.
  • The Consumers page — The Consumers page lets you register the consumers that can access Tachyon. To enhance the security of the Tachyon system, only consumers that have been registered on this page will be allowed to access Tachyon.
  • The Custom Properties page — The Custom properties page is used to define properties that can be used when setting coverage tags on devices. Before devices can be tagged and questioners can use Tachyon Agent device tags to set the coverage of questions, Tachyon custom properties administrators first need to create some properties.

It also provides real-time troubleshooting information on the CoreApi, Switch and Workflow components.
