# Remote tools configuration

Remote Tools in StifleR provide secure, real-time access to endpoint diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities directly from the StifleR Dashboard. These tools allow administrators and support teams to inspect and interact with managed devices without requiring direct network access or separate remote access solutions. 

Available features include file and registry exploration, WMI and event log viewing, log file access (by default we are monitoring Intune and SCCM logs, but you can configure it based on your own needs and preferences), performance counters, resource monitoring, task management, detailed device information, command-line access via CMD and PowerShell, as well as remote assistance and RDP tunneling and much more. Together, these tools enable efficient troubleshooting, monitoring, and support while maintaining centralized control and visibility.
