Profile Management

Prev Next

Use Capture Orchestration profiles (Sensors â–º Capture â–º Profiles) to configure and manage settings that can be shared across multiple sensors.

While you can apply a profile to multiple sensors, some settings, such as hostname, cannot be shared and must be set directly on the sensor.

Main View

Opening the page shows a table with the profiles created along with the number of sensors using each profile and the last time the profile was edited.
