Device Analytics

The Device Analytics page is a fleet-wide health view of every device running the BEAK SWA agent. It surfaces three KPI rollups, four pie-chart distributions, two bar-chart breakdowns of hardware capacity, and a drilldown table with the full list of devices and their current state. Use this page to monitor agent fleet health, plan hardware refreshes, and spot devices that need attention.

Filters​

A filter bar lets you scope every chart and table on the page:

  • Date Range — Restrict to devices reporting within the selected window.
  • Department — Limit to devices assigned to one or more departments.
  • Project — Filter by project assignment.
  • Location — Filter by physical location.
  • RAM — Filter by RAM bucket (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, or All RAM).

A reset icon at the right edge of the filter bar clears every selection in one click. All visualizations refresh in tandem when filters change.

KPI Tiles​

Three tiles summarize the device fleet at the top of the page:

  • Active Devices — Devices that have reported activity within the active window
  • Inactive Devices — Devices that have not reported recently
  • Device Types — A short label describing the mix of device types in the fleet (e.g. "Laptop · Desktop")

CPU Core Distribution​

A bar chart that groups devices by their CPU core count. Each bar represents a CPU-core bucket; the bar height shows the number of devices in that bucket. Use this view to assess whether the fleet has enough headroom for new workloads or whether older low-core devices are due for refresh.

Critical Disk Usage​

A bar chart that groups devices by disk-usage severity. Each bar represents a usage bucket (e.g. devices with disk usage above 90%); the bar height shows the count. The colour is intentionally red to draw attention — devices in the highest bucket are at risk of running out of disk space.

OS Distribution​

A pie chart of devices by operating system family (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.). Each slice is a discrete OS; the colour is consistent across charts to make families easy to recognize.

OS Version​

A pie chart of devices by specific OS version (e.g. Windows 11 23H2, macOS 14). Use this view to spot devices behind on OS patching.

Agent Version​

A pie chart of devices by BEAK SWA agent version. Use this view to confirm a rollout has propagated through the fleet — a single dominant slice means a clean rollout; a long tail of older versions means stragglers need updating.

Device Type​

A pie chart of devices grouped by form factor — laptop, desktop, virtual machine, etc.

Device Drilldown​

A table listing every device in the filtered set with these columns:

ColumnDescription
Device NameFriendly device identifier
HostnameNetwork hostname
OSOperating system and version
CPUCPU model
RAMTotal installed RAM
Disk UsagePercent used, with a coloured progress bar (green below 70%, yellow 70–89%, red 90%+)
Agent VersionThe BEAK SWA agent version installed on the device
Statusactive (green dot) or inactive (red dot)

Note: A device with disk usage in the red zone (90%+) often shows up as inactive shortly afterwards — log capture stalls when there is no room to write.

Best Practices​

  • Watch the Critical Disk Usage chart weekly — devices in the highest bucket need either cleanup or replacement before they stop reporting.
  • A growing slice of older versions in the Agent Version chart means a rollout is incomplete — track it down before it widens.
  • Cross-reference the drilldown with Agent Installation when investigating reporting gaps — that page surfaces install history and last-seen timestamps.
  • Pair fleet refresh planning with Self Analytics for the users on the candidate devices — high-utilization users on older hardware are the natural first targets.
