Set up system profiles and remote connections

Prev Next

Share common information for syslog-based traffic, like event forwarding, data source configuration, vulnerability assessment, SNMP traps, and remote share. You can also add remote connection profiles (URL or Script) that automate the connection process to remote servers. Use remote connection settings to execute commands on devices that accept SSH connections, except Trellix ESM devices.

A system profile stores data source information and credentials. If you have multiple servers, a system profile alleviates the need to enter the same data source information and credentials repeatedly. In those cases, you can create a system profile that pre-populates common fields for you.
