How to View Your Monitoring Agents

Monitoring agents are lightweight workers deployed in your infrastructure. They continuously scan for AI systems, model endpoints, and API call patterns, and report discovery events back to GOVERN.

Viewing agent status

Go to Monitoring → Agents. Each deployed agent appears here with:

  • Agent ID and name
  • Current status (online, degraded, offline)
  • Last heartbeat timestamp
  • Discovery count (systems found by this agent)
  • Deployment environment

Agent health indicators

A green dot means the agent is online and reporting on schedule. An amber dot means the agent is reachable but its last discovery scan reported warnings. A red dot means the agent has not reported within its expected window and may need attention.

Viewing what an agent discovered

Click any agent to see its discovery log — a time-ordered list of every AI system it has found, with discovery timestamps and current registration status.

Deploying a new agent

See the Admin deployment guide for full deployment instructions. Agents are distributed as Docker containers and require only a GOVERN API key and org ID to connect.
