Assets view

The Assets view allows you to monitor assets efficiently using filters, searches, and actions. This view helps identify patterns, trends, and anomalies, uncovering opportunities, risks, and areas for improvement. Though primarily designed for help desk technicians, it is accessible to anyone needing to manage or search for assets and devices.

For more information, see Assets view (New).

All Devices view

In addition to the Assets view, you can also use the All Devices view for monitoring and managing Clients, Sites, and their associated devices.

Monitor

Use the All Devices view, to monitor device health information such as:

  • Online status
  • Check results
  • Task completion
  • Memory and performance statistics
  • Hardware details and installed software
  • Antivirus and Patch status

Manage

Use the All Devices view, to manage devices by:

  • Responding to alerts
  • Backing up important files and folders
  • Managing critical patches
  • Running Automated Tasks
  • Remotely accessing devices
  • Supporting users with in-app communication and troubleshooting

Device Inventory

The Device Inventory enables you to view, filter, and search data for servers and workstations. After you search and filter to display the device lists you need, you can export the data to Microsoft Excel or view the devices pre-filtered in the All Devices view.Reviewed: 05 Nov 2025 (IT)

Use the Device Inventory charts and table options to:

  • Select one or more chart elements to filter on multiple data points.
  • Filter or sort by columns or use the more detailed Filter Builder options.
  • Search for a specific device using the search box or use the column searches to find groups of devices.
  • Choose the columns to display, drag and drop columns to move, and fix columns to the right or left.

The last filters and settings you use in Device Inventory are present the next time you open it. Select Clear at the top right of the data table to reset to the default Device Inventory view.Reviewed: 05 Nov 2025 (IT)

Monitoring Agent

The N-sight RMM Monitoring Agent (Agent) is installed on a device to enable monitoring and management using N-sight RMM. The Agent reports device status, runs checks and tasks, and manages features.

The Agent communicates:

  • Device details
  • Hardware and software assets
  • Check results
  • Scheduled Automated Tasks

Agents are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. In this help, we refer to them as the Windows Agent, the Mac Agent, and the Linux Agent.

There are different methods of Agent deployment. Choose the deployment method that best fits your environment. You can also use Device Management for Apple to enroll and configure Apple devices.

To optimize installation time and ensure consistency across devices, use Monitoring templates.

We offer two Agent versions:

  • General Availability (GA): Latest stale release
  • Release Candidate (RC): Pre-release version that undergoes testing but may include minor bugs

We support the latest two GA Agents—the current release and the previous release.

RMM scripts and automation

In addition to our system scripts, N-sight RMM supports custom scripts in all major scripting languages. Use the Automation Cookbook and Script Manager to download and apply pre-configured checks and tasks to automate device management.

Apply your custom scripts as Script Checks and Automated Tasks.

Use Automation Manager to create and test custom scripts without scripting knowledge before deploying to Windows devices.
