Adding Forcepoint DLP system modules

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.4.x

To add a new module to an existing Forcepoint DLP deployment, run the Forcepoint Security Installer on a supported machine. (See the Forcepoint DLP Installation Guide for instructions.)

The installation wizard prompts for the FQDN or IP address of the management server and the credentials for a Forcepoint DLP administrator with system modules permissions. This information allows the module to register with the management server automatically.

To accept the default configuration, log on to the Forcepoint Security Manager after the installation is complete, then click Deploy in the Data Security module.

To create a custom configuration, log on to the Forcepoint Security Manager and navigate to the Data > Settings > Deployment > System Modules pages, then click the module to edit. Follow the instructions in theConfiguring Forcepoint DLP system modules.

This requires system modules permissions. (See Adding a new role for information on permissions.)

When 2 standalone agents are installed on the same machine, the system registers each one independently, and they appear in the System Modules tree as 2 separate nodes.

If the IP address or hostname (FQDN) of a module changes after registration, it must be re-registered to notify the management server of the change.

If both the IP address and the hostname of a module change, re-register it twice, once after each change. If you wait until both changes have been made before re-registering, the management server thinks the module is brand new, and does not retain the module's configuration information (minimum/maximum transaction size, monitoring mode, and so on).
