Assign Devices to Data Collectors

Devices are assigned to data collector groups.

Each device that you want to analyze in Security Manager must have a data collector assigned to it. The assigned data collector will retrieve configuration and policy data for all of its assigned devices.

If you have one data collector, all of your devices in Security Manager are automatically assigned to it.

If you have more than one data collector, you can select the one you want to use for retrieval for each device. In most cases, you selected it when you added your devices.

If you add a new data collector to an existing deployment, you must manually specify which devices the data collector will retrieve data from.
