Can I manage Stealthwatch without the desktop client?

I'm trying to understand if the desktop client is a must or if I can manage everything through the web GUI.

Hi,
I think on the newer versions (6.9.x +) you don't need the client....so I guess it depends on which version you are running.

I'm testing version 6.10, but I don't see anywhere on the GUI where I can add new Flow Collectors for example. But I also don't see any direct mention to the desktop client on the deployment documentation. The documentation just shows screenshots of the desktop client for some of the configuration, but the deployment guide never tells you to install the desktop client.

Ah ok, I knew they were working towards getting rid of the client, obviously not there yet.

Thank you RJI, I just fund it weird that there's no mention to installing the desktop client, then the documentation goes straight into "click on the enterprise..." and I was lost as "were is the enterprise tree?!"
