Change the Default Service for Investigation

By default, if you have a Broker installed on an Admin Server, then the service ID of a Broker will be automatically updated in Cloud Link Service as default service for investigation on the NetWitness Platform user interface for UEBA (Cloud). However, if there are no Brokers installed on an Admin server, then any one of the service ID of a Broker installed on another node will be automatically updated in Cloud Link Service. If you want to set a specific service ID for a Broker, you can configure in the Explore view of the Cloud Link Service on the NetWitness Platform user interface.
