Adding a Detection Server

Add the detection servers that you want to your
Symantec Data Loss Prevention
system from the
System > Servers and Detectors > Overview
screen.
You can add the following types of servers:
  • Network Monitor
    Server, which monitors network traffic.
  • Network Discover
    Server, which inspects stored data for policy violations.
  • Network Prevent for Email
    Server, which prevents SMTP violations.
  • Cloud Prevent for Email
    Server, which prevents Microsoft Office 365 Exchange traffic violations.
  • Network Prevent for Web
    Server, which prevents ICAP proxy server violations such as FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS.
  • Endpoint Prevent Server, which controls Symantec DLP Agents that monitor and scan endpoints.
  • Network Discover Cluster Server, which inspects stored data for policy violations.
  • Single-Tier Server: By selecting the Single-Tier Server option, the detection servers that you have licensed are installed on the same host as the Enforce Server. The single-tier server performs detection for the following products (you must have a license for each):
    Network Monitor
    ,
    Network Discover
    ,
    Network Prevent for Email
    ,
    Network Prevent for Web
    , and Endpoint Prevent.
Symantec recommends that you apply the same hardware and software configuration to all of the detections servers that you intend to use for grid scans.
Symantec Data Loss Prevention
supports grid scans that have up to 11 participating detection servers.
