A running Netskope Client service does not necessarily mean that traffic is being steered as expected.

Administrators may see the agent/services running normally while the client is not effectively steering traffic due to conditions such as:

  • Enrollment or token issues
  • User not included in the applicable steering configuration/group
  • Client disabled
  • Other user-specific enrollment or client-state issues

To improve visibility, we are leveraging: nsdiag.exe -f

which return the result ; Client status:: enable./disable

We collect this result through our endpoint/client management custom inventory and create a report showing the actual reported client status across managed endpoints.
