Setting/unassigning a default profile
Setting a default profile
You can set a default profile to have all newly installed agents start ingesting content automatically with the same settings, which are specified in that default profile.
Note
|
|
When you set a profile as a default, it is automatically assigned not only to all newly installed agents, but also to all existing agents that have not been assigned a profile yet. For example, if you have installed an agent, registered it on the configuration dashboard and saved it with the blank row selected from the Content Profile drop-down list, the agent is automatically assigned a default profile once you set it as described below.

|
To set a default profile:
-
On the dashboard, scroll down to the Content Profiles section.
-
Under Options, click the Assign Default link associated with the profile that you want to set as a default. The default profile is now marked as "(default)" in the Content Ingest Profiles section of the dashboard and in the Content Profile drop-down list.
Note
|
|
The profile that was used as a 'template' for the default profile also appears in the Content Profile drop-down list. For example, if you set Sample Profile as default, both Sample Profile (default) and Sample Profile will appear in the Content Profile drop-down list.

Unassigning a default profile
Important
|
|
Unassigning a default profile removes the profile from all of the agents that are currently using it and causes those agents to stop ingesting.

Tip
|
|
If you do not want to interrupt ingestion for those agents that are using the default profile, make sure to assign a different profile to them first, before unassigning the default profile. If you want to continue using the same settings as in the default profile, you can switch your agents to the profile that was used as the default profile 'template'. For example, for each agent that is now assigned Sample Profile (default), select Sample Profile from the Content Profile drop-down list and save the agent. Then you can unassign the default profile as described below.
|
|
|
|
To unassign a default profile:
-
On the dashboard, scroll down to the Content Profiles section.
-
Under Options, click the Unassign Default link associated with the profile marked as (default).
