Network Inventory only supports managing connection settings for Virtual Network Sensor version 1.0.1393 or later.
Connecting using a Service Gateway as a proxy requires a Service Gateway with the Forward Proxy Service configured and enabled. For more information, see Managing services in Service Gateway.
You can manage and change the method your Virtual Network Sensors use to connect to Trend Vision One in the Network Inventory app.
