Role required: cmdb_nids_admin

About this task

You can use bulk validation to validate multiple NIDS sensors at once instead of individually validating each NIDS sensor.

Note:

Carefully review the NIDS sensors by discovery source and proceed with caution while bulk validating.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Network IDS Appliance (NIDS) > Sensors.
2. Select the check boxes the sensor records that you want to validate.
3. Select the Validate Sensors button.

Result

If the sensors you validated have a Life Cycle Stage Status of In Use, a successful validation message appears.

If the selected sensors have a Life Cycle Stage Status of Learning Mode or the Validated column is set to true, an error message appears alerting you that one or more sensors in learning mode haven’t been validated or already validated. You should consider changing the Life Cycle Stage Status column to In Use to proceed with the bulk validation.
