Manage settings and review information about your Virtual Network Sensors.

The Sensor Details screen provides a summary of information about your connected Virtual Network Sensor to help with managing your environment. You can open the Sensor Details screen in the TrendAI Vision One™ console by going to Network Security → Network Inventory → Virtual Network Sensor and clicking the sensor identifier on the inventory list.
The Sensor Details screen is divided into two tabs:
The System Information tab provides basic information about the Virtual Network Sensor.

Enabling this feature allows Virtual Network Sensor to recognize and capture the VLAN IDs to identify VLANs in your network.
Important
Important
Before enabling VLAN awareness, make sure that the inbound and outbound traffic for the same connection in your network use the same VLAN ID. Otherwise, Virtual Network Sensor may not be able to identify the two directions as being the same network flow, causing incomplete telemetry and less accurate detection.
Monitoring mode
Set the sensor monitoring mode
Only available if you have enabled hypersensitive mode in Support Settings.
