What's new in the TrustLayer Console: full feature list

- Rule Builder overview
- Web Activity Snapshot for a rule

- Bypass categories inside the agent profile
- Deployment: export, connection quality and agent details
- Stale agents

This list covers everything the console adds compared with the dashboard. Both portals use the same login and the same policies, so you can use whichever suits the task. For an overview, see What's new in the TrustLayer Console. Step-by-step guides for each feature are on help.clouduss.com under USS 2.5.
Most of these features have one thing in common: related settings are in one place. A rule shows its own activity, template and history. A profile shows its own bypasses and tags. An event links straight to the rule behind it.

A closer look
Identifying details such as user names, device names and addresses are blurred in these screenshots.
Rule Builder overview
The rule list opens with a count of rules by action, how many are active or inactive, and a warning for any rule that matches all traffic.
Web Activity Snapshot for a rule
Open any rule and switch to the activity view to see the traffic it has matched in the last hour, 24 hours, week or month. Open in Web Activity takes you to the full report.
Block page templates inside the rule
Choose the block page for a rule without leaving it, and preview each template with sample values on desktop or mobile.
Bypass categories inside the agent profile
Pick the bypass categories an agent profile uses, and open any category to search, add or remove its patterns on the spot.
Deployment: export, connection quality and agent details
Filter by platform, export the list as a CSV, check each agent's connection quality, change its configuration profile from the list, and expand a row for its full details.
Stale agents
Show agents that haven't checked in for 7, 30, 60 or 90 days, then select and remove them in bulk.
Act on any event in Web Activity
The timeline shows traffic by action; select a range to zoom in. From any event you can open the rule that made the decision, add the site to a URL category, or request reclassification.
Scheduled reports
Email any saved report hourly, daily, weekly or monthly to the recipients you choose, as a CSV or Excel file.
Discover devices
Build or update a device group from the devices seen in web activity over the last 1 to 24 hours, then review the results before importing.
