IPv6

This checkbox enables the creation of assets with an IPv6 address that are detected through passive monitoring.

Discovery

This checkbox lets you enable/disable Discovery. The default setting is disabled.

Discovery uses lightweight protocol-specific broadcast messages to identify network devices. These messages trigger a response from the devices, which includes identity information. The process is repeated at predefined intervals. At each interval, the sensor will identify the suitable network interfaces and send broadcast messages through them to discover devices on each subnetwork connected to the sensor.

Experimental Alerts deduplication

This checkbox lets you enable/disable Experimental Alerts deduplication. The default setting is disabled.

When enabled, alerts will be grouped based on a new experimental logic that prevents the proliferation of redundant alerts. The expert view in the Alerts page shows the timestamp corresponding to the first and the last occurrence of the alert, as well as their total count. The same information is also available through the queries. If you have disabled the deduplication feature through a command-line interface (CLI) command previously, enabling this option reverts that change.
