Creating a DAST Sensor Pool

When you create a ScanCentral DAST sensor pool, you can assign a single sensor or group of sensors to specific applications. These assignments determine which sensors can scan each application in your environment.

To create a new sensor pool:

1. On the Sensor Pools page, click + NEW POOL.

   The SENSOR POOL - CREATE dialog box opens with the Getting Started page in view.

2. In the Name box, type a name for the pool.

3. In the Description box, type a description for the pool.

4. In the Pool list, select the License and Infrastructure Manager (LIM) license pool for licensing the sensors in the pool.

5. In the Password box, type the password associated with the LIM license pool.

6. To verify that you can connect to the LIM with the license pool and password, click VALIDATE.

7. Click Sensors in the menu or click NEXT.

   The SENSORS list appears.

8. Select one or more sensors to add to the pool.

   Important! If you are creating a pool to allow sensor auto scaling or scan scaling, make sure that you select sensors that have been configured for integration with Kubernetes. For more information, see Integrating with Kubernetes for Scan Scaling.

   The sensors are added to the SENSORS SELECTED list.

9. Click Applications in the menu or click NEXT.

   The APPLICATIONS list appears.

10. Select one or more applications to add to the pool.

    The applications are added to the APPLICATIONS SELECTED list.

What's Next?

Do one of the following:

• To configure sensor auto scaling or scan scaling, click Scan Scaling in the menu or click NEXT, and proceed with Configuring Sensor Auto Scaling and Scan Scaling.

• To review your settings:

  1. Click Review in the menu.

     Review your sensor pool settings.

  2. Click SAVE.

     The pool is added to the Sensor Pools list.
