Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of Forescout Platform Administration and Deployment:
According to the Forescout Platform Administration Guide, the logs available from the GUI Console include: Host Details, Policy, Blocking, Event Viewer, and Audit Trail.
Available Logs from the Forescout Console GUI:
Host Details Log - Provides detailed information about individual endpoints discovered on the network. This log displays comprehensive host properties and status information directly accessible from the console.
Policy Log - Shows policy activity and records how specific endpoints are handled by policies. The Policy Log investigates endpoint activity, displaying information about policy matches, actions executed, and policy evaluation results.
Blocking Log - Displays all blocking events that occur on the network, including port blocks, host blocks, and external port blocks. This log provides an at-a-glance display of blocked endpoints with timestamps and reasons.
Event Viewer - A system log that displays severity, date, status, element, and event information. Administrators can search, export, and filter events using the Event Viewer.
Audit Trail - Records administrative actions and changes made to the Forescout platform configuration and policies.
How to Access Logs from the GUI:
From the Forescout Console GUI, administrators access logs through the Log menu by selecting:
Blocking Logs to view block events
Event Viewer to display system events
Policy Reports to investigate policy activity
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
B. Switch, Policy, Blocking, Event Viewer, Audit Trail - "Switch" is not a standalone log type available from the GUI; switch data is captured through plugin logs and reports
C. Switch, Discovery, Threat Protection, Event Viewer, Audit Trail - "Discovery" and "Threat Protection" are report categories, not GUI logs in the standard log menu
D. HPS, Policy, Threat Protection, Event Viewer, Audit Trail - HPS logs are accessed through CLI, not the GUI; "Threat Protection" is a report, not a GUI log
E. Host Details, Policy, Today Log, Threat Event Viewer, Audit Trail - "Today Log" and "Threat Event Viewer" are not standard log names in the Forescout GUI
