Copy an existing profile and its associated settings instead of creating new
profiles. If you are creating multiple profiles, and you want to reuse the settings of an
existing profile, you may prefer to copy profiles to save time.
Before you begin
Role required: sn_si.admin
About this task
As a user with the sn_si.admin role, if you copy a
profile, the profile name is initially modified to avoid duplicate profiles. In
addition, the copied profile is disabled (false) so it is not activated accidentally
prior to completing the configuration. Copy profiles and use existing maps for security
incidents that you have already previewed and verified.
Procedure
-
Navigate to .
-
In the ArcSight Profiles list that is displayed, select a profile that you want
to copy, and, from the Actions on selected rows choice list, click
Copy.
The profile is copied and displayed on the list. The copy has all the
settings of the original profile including the mapping and scheduling
configuration. The name of the profile contains copy. Although the original
profile is enabled (
true), the copy is disabled at
this point (
false). You may prefer to edit values
of the copied profile and rename it so the configuration settings apply to the
new profile as required.
You have successfully copied the settings from an existing profile to a
new profile. Note that the Active column status is
set to false as the profile needs to be activated.
