Deploying a new device or application signature

QUESTION

How do I deploy a new device or application signature?

RESOLUTION

When deploying a new device signature file, please follow the below steps:

•  Copy the rule file to <TRAVERSE_HOME>\plugin\monitors (on the BVE) (SaaS customers - kindly open a support ticket and attach the rule file there. Support will notify you once the files are made available on the SaaS server)
  
  
•  Log into the traverse web application as superuser (or admin-level user)
  
  
•  Navigate to the 'Superuser --> Health' page and confirm in the revisions column that the configuration has just been updated on the appropriate (DGE or DGEx) server.  If necessary wait a minute or so, then refresh the page.
  
  
•  Navigate to Superuser --> Health --> left click on the gear/more options icon (three dots) for the BVE and all DGEs/DGEXs and select 'Reload Configuration'

  (pre-9.5 SUPERUSER > HEALTH page)

 (9.5 SUPERUSER > HEALTH page)

You should now be able to discover tests specific to the signature.
