Abstract

Triage collections enable you to obtain additional information for certain activities that have occurred on the endpoints. This helps towards the forensics analytics of an investigation.

Use triage collections when a certain activity, group of activities, or the actions of a specific user on that endpoint have been identified, and additional information is required. The triage functionality collects detailed system information, including a full file listing for all of the connected drives, full event logs, and registry hives, to provide you with a complete, holistic picture of an endpoint.
