The Job Information window shows the status of the update. After the operation
finishes, the device begins collecting data for the Profiler DB.
To manually start the Profiler, use the Devices menu, and select IDP Profiler > Start
Profiler. In the Start Profiler dialog box, select the devices you want to use for profiling,
then click OK, or optionally, right-click on any device from the Device Manager and select
IDP Profiler > Start Profiler.
NOTE: After you start the Profiler for a specific device, the Enable Protocol
Profiler setting in the device is automatically enabled.
NOTE: The Profiler is actually a service, located in
/usr/idp/device/bin/profiler.sh
As your devices begin profiling your internal network, they gather information about your
network hosts, their peers, ports, and Layer 7 data.
To manually stop the Profiler, use the Devices menu, and select IDP Profiler>Stop
Profiler. In the Stop Profiler dialog box, select the appropriate devices, then click OK, or
optionally, right-click on any device from the Device Manager, and select IDP Profiler >
Stop Profiler.
NOTE: After you stop the Profiler for a specific device, the Enable Protocol
Profiler setting in the device is automatically disabled.
When a Start Profiler operation is performed on a regular or virtual system (vsys) device
that has no IDP rules, profiling for the device is disabled, and NSM returns the following
message:
IDP Profiling for <device-name> will be disabled because there are no IDP rules
currently associated with this device.
If profiling for the device was enabled before the Start Profiler operation, profiling is
disabled for the vsys device; however, the profiler process itself might not be disabled
because other virtual systems associated with the device might be using the profiler
process.
To configure the following Profiler preferences, use the Tools menu, and select
Preferences > Profiler Settings:
