Prioritize groups for Standard Analysis

You can specify device groups for Standard Analysis based on their importance to your network. Groups are ranked in an ordered list.

Here are some important considerations about Standard Analysis:

  • Devices prioritized for Standard Analysis section receive Advanced Analysis when there is capacity.
  • You must have full write privileges to edit analysis priorities.
  • You cannot prioritize more than 200 device groups for Standard Analysis.
  1. Log in to the ExtraHop system through https://<extrahop-hostname-or-IP-address>.
    (These steps must be completed on the console or sensor that is managing these shared settings.)
  2. Go to the settings for Standard Priorities.
    • On a console, click the System Settings icon and then click Analysis Priorities. Then, click Edit Priorities next to the sensor you want to modify.
    • On a sensor, click the System Settings icon and then click Analysis Priorities.
  3. Prioritize groups by completing the following steps:
    1. In the For Standard Analysis section, click adding a group to add the initial group or Add Group to add additional groups.




    2. In the Group drop-down list, type the name of a device group and then click the group name from the search results. For example, type HTTP servers and select the HTTP Servers device group.
    3. (Optional): In the Note field, type information about the group.
  4. In the Automatically Fill section, make sure On is selected.
    Note:If your system is having performance issues, then click Off. Only devices that are in prioritized groups receive Standard Analysis.
  5. At the top of the page, click Save.
