Downloading DataExplorer Builder

Absolute DataExplorer Builder is a Windows application that lets you graphically build queries to be run against your endpoints. Once you successfully build a query, you can export it to a JSON file and add the file as a data point to the Custom Data policy. DataExplorer Builder is an advanced feature, and some familiarity with the Windows operating system, programming logic, and scripting is recommended.
