Additional Settings

Once you have made your desired settings for the new SNMP sensor click on the Next button. This will bring up the Additional Settings window.

Choose a group of the sensor list that you want to add the new sensor(s) to. Optionally you can Create a New Subgroup.

Choose a group name that will help you to keep your sensors organized (e.g. “Firewall” or “LAN”). Also select the desired scanning interval in seconds. In most cases 30 seconds should be fine. Since NetFlow is a “push” technology, this value is only important for the screen update.

Finally you can add tags for the new sensors which will help you to categorize your sensors later. A tag consists of one or more words, e.g. switch, printer, 1st floor, 2nd floor, remote office, data center 1, data center 2, etc. Use commas to separate tags.

When you are finished selecting your options, click on Finish. This will finalize setting up the sensor and will start the monitoring of the sensor.
