The crawler

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

Multiple crawlers may be deployed. During creating of a discovery or fingerprinting task, administrators select which crawler should perform the scan. Forcepoint recommends using the crawler that is located closest to the data you are scanning.

To view crawler status in the Security Manager, go to the Settings > Deployment > System Modules page, select the crawler, and click Edit.
