Host Inventory File Analytics probe

Using Host Resources data collection, hosts are discovered and added to the Host Inventory. Once a host is listed in the inventory, it can be selected and the File Analytics probe can be configured. To access the Host Inventory to enable File Analytics probes: Admin > Data Collection > Host Inventory

Note that by design, File Analytics host resources data collection occurs via activation of the probe in the Host Inventory window in the Portal. Collection does not occur under the following circumstance:

  • The Validate option in the Portal's Host Inventory window only runs a connectivity check. It does not collect File Analytics data.
