This
is an optional step that is required if you want to monitor
encrypted communications and/or if it is impossible for the
NetResident service to “see” all traffic on your LAN for some
reason (e.g., multiple LAN segment, missing “port mirroring”
feature in the LAN switches, etc.)
If you
have decided to deploy agents, you must run the setup on each
machine on which you want to monitor network traffic and select the
specific component, namely NetResident Agent, during setup, as illustrated
below:
On the
next screen, you will be prompted to enter the data necessary to
connect to the NetResident service.
The address field must be used to provide the agent with
the IPv4 or IPv6 address or hostname of the computer on which the
NetResident service has been previously installed, as the agents
must “know” the address to which they would connect and send
collected data. If you are not sure about the IP address or the
hostname of the computer running the NetResident service, execute
the ipconfig /all command on that computer to find this
information. In the master password field, you should provide the password that you
previously chose when you installed the NetResident
service.
