Servers & agents
The nodes DriftSense knows about — local (this box) and SSH agents (remote servers scanned over a restricted-key SSH connection). Add one at a time or bulk-import a list of hostnames sharing a single key.
Two flavors:
Local = scanner runs on the same box as the file being watched (fast, zero-network). SSH agent = scanner SSHes into the target box using a restricted key; only footprint on that box is one
authorized_keys entry. Great for stealth deployment where you don't want developers on the monitored box to see DriftSense installed. Paste a PEM key below to store it in the DB (encrypted). Test any row with the "Test" button.
Bulk import
Paste one hostname per line + one shared SSH key + a base scan config. DriftSense fans out.
