Host Discovery and Collection File Analytics probe

Using Host Resources data collection, hosts are discovered and added to the Host Discovery and Collection list. 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 Discovery and Collection

Note that by design, File Analytics host resources data collection occurs via activation of the probe in the Host Discovery and Collection window in the Portal.
