The Host search (often accessed via the Host Investigate dashboard) is the primary "Host-Centric" investigation tool in the Falcon console. When an analyst enters a hostname or Agent ID (AID) into this tool, Falcon retrieves a consolidated view of that specific system's activity. One of the most critical sections of this dashboard is the Recent Logons list.

This view provides a chronological history of every user account—both local and domain—that has successfully authenticated to the host. For a hunter, this is an essential part of the Hunting Methodology for identifying "Credential Overlap" or unauthorized access. If an unusual administrative account or a service account that has no business being on that server is listed, it can indicate lateral movement (T1021). While User Search (Option C) allows you to see all the machines a specific user has touched, only Host search provides the "reverse" view: every user that has touched a specific machine . This allows the analyst to establish a baseline of "normal" users for a server (e.g., specific DBA accounts for a SQL server) and quickly spot anomalies that warrant a deeper dive into the UserLogon events in the Event Search.
