This topic explains how to find agents, assets, and policies in the SiteProtector Console by
using the configuration of the examples in this chapter.
The assets that you scan may be in the same group as your agent, but they do not have to
be. The agent is associated with the groups it scans based on perspective—not on the group
to which it belongs. In the examples, the Enterprise Scanner agent and the group of assets
to scan are in different groups.
When you registered your Enterprise Scanner agent with the SiteProtector system, you
added it to a group that appears in the SiteProtector Console. To modify policies and
customize your agent's scanning behavior, you must locate that group. For the examples
in this chapter, the agent is in the CorporateScanners group.
A group that you scan could have subgroups, and you could use the rules of policy
inheritance to change scanning behaviors for subgroups. For the examples in this chapter,
the assets to scan are in a single group, the CorporateScanningGroups group.
Figure 2 illustrates the location of the groups for the Enterprise Scanner agent and the
assets to scan for the examples in this chapter:
