You can use this table to monitor activity in your deployment. For example, if the Last Connected column
indicates a host has not connected recently, that can be an indication of a problem with the host server.
Log Collection

When you remove a host from your deployment, remove the corresponding node from the Distributed
Deployment Information table to optimize log collection times. For more information, see Remove a Node
from the Distributed Deployment Information Table.
