Installing the Import Service task

Note: When accessing a remote database, the NMAP Import Service needs to be run as a domain user, as the standard local system will not allow access to the SQL database. This service should be configured like otherIBM BigFix services in a remote database environment.

Expand the Setup node in the Asset Discovery navigation tree to find the Install Nmap Asset Discovery Import Service Task.

Click the task and view the description in the work area.

To install the Nmap Asset Discovery Import Service on the IBM BigFix server, click the link in the Actions box. By default, the Import service runs every five minutes and checks for new Nmap scan data that has been delivered to theIBM BigFix server. If you want to establish a different frequency, select the second Action link.
