Crawler

Applies to:
  • Forcepoint DLP, v8.5.x, v8.6.x, v8.7.x, v8.8.x, v8.9.x, v9.0, v10.0, v10.1

The crawler is the name of the discovery and fingerprinting agent. It is selected by default when you install the Forcepoint management server or supplemental Forcepoint DLP servers.

You can deploy additional crawlers in your network if you desire. When you set up a fingerprint task, you indicate which crawler should perform the scan. Forcepoint recommends you use the crawler that is located closest in proximity to the data you are scanning.

You can view the status of your crawlers in the Forcepoint Security Manager Data Security module. Go to Settings > Deployment > System Modules, select the crawler, and click Edit.

See the Forcepoint DLP Deployment Guide for more information.
