# 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.
