Configuring Activation

After the probe is installed and the initial preview has completed, you should set as many as policies as you can without activating your network domain. Instead click Apply Changes to perform an "on demand" incremental synchronization. This is the same event performed by activation on a recurring fixed time period basis. Continue performing "on demand" incremental synchronization until you are satisfied with the results of your initial configuration. Then click Activation to perform incremental synchronization automatically. The default recurring time period is 60 minutes.

1. Select the Agent Deployment tab for your selected domain network on the Domain Watch page.
2. Select the agent probe row in the lower panel.
3. Click the Activate button in the lower panel. The Activate Probe dialog opens.
   • You can enter a different credential for the probe than the one entered for the install. Typically the same credential is used.
   • Set a incremental synchronization interval for synchronization of data between the domain and Discovery The default is 60 minutes.
   • Click the Activate button to close this dialog and activate the probe. This should only take a minute or two. Use the Refresh button to update the page. Refreshing of the page is not done automatically.
   • The Probe Status displays Activated.
