Prerequisites:
The Manager from which configuration is exported and the one to which configuration is imported must be identical. They should be of the same model, and same software version.
Both Managers must have the same admin domain hierarchy, or at a minimum, the same admin domain hierarchy starting from the domain wherein the Sensor resides.
For example, if you exported a Sensor belonging to /My Company/Domain A, and below Domain A, there is:
/My Company/Domain A/Domain B
/My Company/Domain A/Domain B/Domain C
The importing Sensor must reside in a domain that has the following sub-domains:
Domain B
Domain B/Domain C
Caution
Trellix recommends that the Sensor receiving the import has the same signature set as the exporting Sensor. It is recommended that both the Managers have the same set of policies if policies have also been exported/imported.
The Import Configuration option enables you to overwrite the current configuration on a saved (exported) Sensor configuration file.
Importing a saved configuration is useful in a test-to-production environment where you configure your settings on a test (non-production) Manager system, then import to a Sensor in your live environment.
Importing is also useful in the event a Sensor fails and you replace the failed Sensor with a new Sensor, which requires the same configuration as the previous Sensor.
Steps:
Select Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Devices → <Device Name> → Maintenance → Import Configuration.
Note
The <Device Name> here refers to a Sensor.
The Import Configuration page is displayed.
Click Browse to locate your saved Sensor configuration.
Click Apply.
Upon completion of import, reboot the Sensor.
Run a Sensor report to verify settings.
