FAQPage Schema
How do I set up continuous OSINT monitoring for investigation targets?

Continuous OSINT monitoring is established by defining targets, creating scouts, and performing regular source checks to automatically ingest new results into your investigation context.

What is persistent OSINT monitoring and when do I need it?

Persistent OSINT monitoring is the automated tracking of sources for evolving information. You need it when manual checks are insufficient to stay updated on dynamic investigation targets.

Can I automate source checks for tracking government webpage updates during an investigation?

Yes, you can automate source checks to periodically query monitoring sources and receive timely alerts and summaries when relevant updates are detected on tracked webpages.

Does continuous monitoring integrate with Scoutpost API for managing investigation workflows?

Yes, continuous monitoring integrates with the Scoutpost API to support scout creation and unit retrieval, ensuring organized management of ongoing investigation tracking activities.

What's the best way to manage the lifecycle of OSINT monitoring targets?

The best way to manage the monitoring lifecycle is through an orchestrated process that recommends targets, creates scouts, performs checks, and ingests results into investigation context.

Do I need to manually verify new results discovered during automated source checks?

Automated source checks identify new results and integrate them directly into your investigation context, but verifying the relevance of ingested information remains part of the investigation workflow.
