Monitored Queries

Prev Next

Problem: You’ve built great queries in Reconnaissance, finding suspicious domains, tracking brand impersonation, or mapping attacker infrastructure, but you can’t afford to run them manually every day. Threats move fast, and new indicators appear constantly.

Silent Push Solution: Monitored Queries lets you turn any search into an automated, always-on watch. Once set, Silent Push runs your query every 24 hours and alerts you only when something new appears. No more manual repetition. No more missing emerging threats.

How to Access Monitored Queries

From the dashboard, click Monitored Queries under the Getting Started With Reconnaissance section.

You’ll land on the central management screen where all your saved monitors live.

What You’re Seeing on This Screen

This is your monitoring command center. Here’s what each column tells you:

Column

Why It Matters

Monitor Active

Blue toggle = actively running every 24 hours. Grey = paused.

Monitor Name

Clear, human-readable label you created (e.g., “AIB Phishing Impersonation” or “DriveSurge C2 IPs”).

Monitor Query URL

The actual query being monitored — useful for understanding what it watches.

Query Type

Tells you the origin (Web Search, PADNS, Favicon Impersonation, etc.).

Created by

Shows ownership and team collaboration.

History

Click to see new findings from the last 7 days + download or copy results.

Why This Screen Matters

This is where proactive defense becomes truly automated. Instead of checking the same queries daily, you set them once and let Silent Push do the heavy lifting. You only get notified when there’s something new, saving hours of analyst time while dramatically improving detection speed.

Common high-value monitors include:

  • Brand + typo-squat monitoring

  • Threat actor infrastructure tracking

  • Attack surface changes (new subdomains, open directories, etc.)

  • Specific IP ranges or certificate patterns

Managing Your Monitors

  • Activate / Pause: Use the toggle in the first column.

  • Edit Name or Description: Click the ellipsis (…) menu → Edit Monitor Metadata.

  • Share with Team: Ellipsis menu → Share Monitor (makes it visible to your organization).

  • View History: Click History to see new indicators from the past 7 days, with options to copy or download.

  • Refresh: Use the Refresh button to instantly update the table.

Tips

  • Give monitors clear, descriptive names — you’ll thank yourself later.

  • Start small: Monitor 3–5 high-priority queries first, then expand.

  • Use the History view regularly to spot trends over time.

  • Combine with Threat Check to validate new findings quickly.
