The Tree pane is in the left pane of the Devices page. The tree pane gives a hierarchical view of all your physical and virtual Trellix IPS resources reporting to the Central Manager server. The resources available are dependent upon the Trellix IPS products and features deployed in your system. The hierarchical view within the tree applies to the way the menus are managed by the system users and not necessarily to any networking or physical relationship between the resources.

Once you have configured a Manager as explained in Configure Managers in the Central Manager, you will be able to see the newly added Managers appearing as menus on the Devices tab.

As you add more Managers, additional menus appear in the tree. To view details of any Manager, click Manager sub-menu under the <Manager> menu.

If you right-click on any of the menus, a shortcut menu offers the following options:
