# Monitor Overview

## What Is This Page?

**Monitor Overview** is the landing page of the Drift Monitor section, reached via **Drift Monitor > Monitor Overview** in the sidebar. It checks that the permissions Drift Monitor needs are in place, and then gives you three cards to jump into the rest of the feature.

## Permission Check

Drift Monitor relies on a Microsoft-managed application called **Unified Tenant Configuration Management (UTCM)**. When the page loads, it automatically checks whether this application has been granted all the Microsoft Graph permissions it needs.

* **Green card** — all required permissions are present. You are ready to create monitors.
* **Red card** — one or more permissions are missing. The card lists which ones, and links to an external setup guide that walks through granting them.

Click **Recheck** at any time to re-run the check, for example right after an admin has granted the missing consent.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If UTCM is not fully configured, Drift Monitor will not be able to detect any configuration changes. Fix any missing permissions here before creating monitors.
{% endhint %}

## Where To Go From Here

Three navigation cards take you deeper into the feature:

| Card                | Takes You To                                                                                                                                |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Global Overview** | [Global Overview](/intune-assistant/monitor/global-overview.md) — a dashboard summarising every monitor, its drifts, and recent run history |
| **All Monitors**    | [All Monitors](/intune-assistant/monitor/all-monitors.md) — the full list of configured monitors, with the option to add a new one          |
| **Drift Alerts**    | [Drifts](/intune-assistant/monitor/drifts.md) — every configuration drift detected across all monitors                                      |

A closing section links out to the public documentation and the IntuneAssistant GitHub repository if you want to learn more or report an issue.

## Common Questions

**Do I need to do anything on this page every time?**\
No. Once the UTCM permission check shows green, you can go straight to Global Overview, All Monitors, or Add Monitor from the sidebar without revisiting this page.

**What if the permission check stays red after I've granted consent?**\
Click **Recheck**. Microsoft Graph permission changes can take a minute to propagate.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.intuneassistant.cloud/intune-assistant/monitor/monitor-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
