The documentation is organised by workflow rather than by individual program windows. Detailed pages will be added and updated as ShareMon develops.
Share discovery
Learn how IP-based, Active Directory-based and DFS-based discovery identify systems, namespace references and Windows shares for scanning.
Documentation plannedShareMon Agent
Understand authoritative local scanning, Agent status, scan runs, Agent SQLite data and import into the central database.
Documentation plannedAdvanced Analysis
Review directory listings, directory trees, ACL analysis, extension analysis, filename keywords and plaintext content keywords.
Documentation plannedConfiguration
Reference sharemon.cfg,Extensions.txt,FileKeywords.txt andContentKeywords.txt.
Data and storage
Learn how central and Agent SQLite databases, scan runs, imported Agent data, logs and result files are handled.
Documentation plannedTroubleshooting
Diagnose discovery, permission, Agent import, configuration and Advanced Analysis problems using logs and recorded scan information.

Scan context
Scan results reflect the permissions and access available to the credentials used. Standard-user and authoritative scans therefore answer different but complementary questions.
