Locate the Device ID for a Specific Insight Sensor

In case of multiple NetWitness Insight Sensor deployments, you will require the device ID if you want to delete or check the status of a specific Insight Sensor. You need to open the Insight Sensor host (Packet Decoder) on the Services page and find the device ID in Explore view on the NetWitness Cloud Portal user interface.

To locate the device ID for a specific Insight Sensor

1. Log in to the NetWitness Platform.

2. Go to Admin > Services.

3. In the Services list, search NetWitness Insight in the Filter field.

   

4. Select the NetWitness Insight service and click > View > Explore.

   The Explore view for the NetWitness Insight service is displayed.

   

5. On the left panel, click sys > stats. The UUID and other information are displayed on the right panel.

   The UUID value contains the complete 36-characters service ID of the Packet Decoder service.

   The last 12-characters of the UUID are the Device ID of that Insight sensor. For example, if the UUID of the Packet Decoder service is 399f9fa3-c100-4171-837f-d449c896d47b, the device ID of the sensor is d449c896d47b.
