The Advanced tab lets you specify additional global settings. The session timeout for web-based UI can be configured. Default is one hour. If Show Advanced Tasks is set, ASGARD will show system maintenance jobs (e.g. update ASGARD Agent on endpoints) within the response control section.

Inactive assets can be hidden in the Asset Management Section by setting a suitable threshold for Hide inactive Assets.

3.21.1. SigDev Signatures

We offer a "preview" of our newest signatures, which contains our newest rules. Those signatures have been processed by our automated pipeline and passed the quality check - however our manual testing of those new rules did not take place yet.

We have those signatures to offer the newest rules to our customers in time critical engagements. You have to carefully consider if the potential higher rate of false positive warrants the usage of those rules. We generally recommend to only use those rules if the currently available signatures are a few days old.

To enable the SigDev / Preview Signatures, simply activate the checkbox Show Signature SigDev Option and submit your changes.
