Documentation
Reference and walkthroughs for ET Ducky's diagnostic engine, AI live sessions, behavioral security monitoring, fleet management, and operator workflows. Pick a topic from the left, or jump to a popular starting point below.
Start here
- Getting started — deploy your first agent and claim your subdomain.
- Agent setup wizard — one-line install on Windows or Linux.
- Live sessions — ask the AI questions about a specific host.
- Security overview — behavioral rules, operator elevation, and isolation.
- Pricing & billing — how subscriptions, queries, and agent seats are counted.
What lives in each area
Agents covers the agent itself: architecture, ETW vs. eBPF capture, install, configuration, tags, and management. Linux-specific install, sudoers policy, and platform differences live in the Linux Agent Guide.
Live sessions and AI diagnostics cover the interactive flow where an operator asks a host questions in plain English and the AI answers from kernel-level evidence. AI Usage & Quotas explains how queries and tokens are counted, and BYOK covers running the AI on your own provider key.
Security covers behavioral monitoring, the cross-platform rule engine, the Windows ETW security session, and operator-driven sudo elevation on Linux. Behavioral Detections documents the rule catalog and the false-positive allowlist workflow.
Patch Management covers OS and application patching for Windows (winget, Windows Update) and Linux (apt, dnf, zypper, snap, flatpak), the Software Catalog for apps no package manager tracks, staged ring rollouts, and kernel-verified post-patch checks. See Patch Management and Approved Applications.
Reports and analysis covers Smart Reports, Data Explorer, and Historical AI Analysis — the read-side of the platform.
Deployment and team covers cloud-hosted, self-hosted, workspaces, billing, and team management.
Distribution Servers covers LAN-local file hubs — enabling a hub agent, creating connections, granting access, and mapping drives. See Distribution Servers and the API reference.
Installer Reference documents the silent-install switches and exit codes for unattended desktop deployment.
Ticketing covers native ET Ducky tickets plus the Jira and ServiceNow connectors — see Integrations & Tickets for the Tickets page and Ticketing Integrations for connector setup, field mapping, and report push.
Time tracking and PSA billing covers time entries (timer, manual, and auto-capture from sessions), weekly timesheets with approval, per-member hourly rates, and turning approved billable time into PSA webhook events and draft Stripe invoices. See Time Tracking & Timesheets and PSA Integrations & Billing.
