Option

Definition

Rogue System Sensor

Enables sensors when they are deployed.

Server name or IP address

Specifies the name or IP address of the system where your Trellix ePO - On-prem server is installed. Trellix RSD treats agents managed by any other Trellix ePO - On-prem server as alien agents. Therefore, the systems where those alien agents are deployed are identified as rogue systems. The default value in this field is the IP address of the system where Trellix RSD is installed. When changing this value, use standard IP address format (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), DNS name, or the FQDN.

Log File Settings

Specifies whether the software logs only messages with Error and Critical priority or logs all messages.

Note: This section is relevant for 5.0 sensors only.

Policy Revision ID

Specifies the revision number of the policy, which is incremented every time you save the policy.

Note: This section is relevant for 5.0 sensors only.

Choose method of importing

Specifies the method for importing systems into the Rogue Sensor Blacklist, including:

  • Manually add systems to the Sensor Blacklist — Specifies whether to add systems manually by system name, with each system separated by a new line. System names must be formatted as standard system names, for example, xx-100.                    

  • Import file with list of systems to add to the Sensor Blacklist — Specifies whether to add systems by uploading a text file containing a list of system names. The list separates each system by a new line.

This page is relevant for 4.x sensors only.

Option

Initial Interface Binding

Select this box to tell sensors to listen only to the interfaces whose IP addresses were present at the time of installation.

Listen only on interfaces with IP addresses in these networks

Tells sensors to listen to interfaces only in user-specified networks. Type a network address and click Add To List to specify a network. Select a network from the list and click Remove From List to stop listening to interfaces on that network. IP addresses must use standard IP address format followed by the two-digit Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) that specifies the subnet mask.

Do not listen on interfaces with IP addresses in these networks

Tells sensors not to listen to interfaces in user-specified networks. Type a network address and click Add To List to specify a network. Select a network from the list and click Remove From List to allow sensors to listen to interfaces on that network. IP addresses must use standard IP address format followed by the two-digit CIDR number that specifies the subnet mask.


Overall System Status monitor

Use the Overall System Status monitor to view the status of all detected systems on your network by category. From this location, you can view the list of systems that make up a category by clicking it. You can also import or export systems from the Exceptions list by clicking Import/Export Exceptions.

The color-coded title bar across the top of the status monitor displays the percentage of total systems on your network that are compliant. This percentage represents the ratio of systems that are managed or designated as exceptions, to total detected systems. User-configured options based on this ratio determine the color of the title bar. There are three color codes: green, orange, and red. They represent good, marginal, and poor status, respectively. Only managed systems are compliant.
