Configuring system modules

When Forcepoint DLP is installed, each of its agents, components, and modules is automatically registered with the management server.

Use the Settings > Deployment > System Modules page to view a list of all the modules you installed.

The management server has the following modules by default:

  • Primary fingerprint repository
  • Endpoint server
  • Crawler (fingerprinting and discovery agent)
  • Forensics repository
  • Policy engine

If you have Forcepoint Web Security or Forcepoint Email Security, there are also modules for the Web Content Gateway and Forcepoint Email Security.

Protector-based solutions have the following modules:

  • ICAP agent
  • Policy engine
  • Secondary fingerprinting repository The protector is also a module itself.

If other modules have been added to the system—such as supplemental Forcepoint DLP servers, agents, crawlers—these components appear in tree view as well.

To get a basic Forcepoint DLP deployment up and running, the only component that needs to be configured is the protector. In some cases, the protector is not even required—as in some endpoint deployments and in Forcepoint Web Security deployments.

Note: See the Forcepoint DLP Installation Guide for instructions on installing Forcepoint DLP modules.
