When you configure data forwarding, you define sets of data to export. Each set of data is known as a data group, and it includes data for the assets you define. After transferring the files to the destination DOC4000 installation, you then use data receiving to import the data from a data group to the receiving destination DOC4000 installation.
Inventory and Vulnerability Management Data
Your organization might want site-level data forwarded to an enterprise installation of DOC4000. Some forwarded data contains inventory information, and some forwarded data contains processed vulnerability information. Vulnerability data must be processed at the level where the source objects are present.
Inventory Data Only
Your organization might want site data forwarded to an enterprise installation of DOC4000. In this scenario, collect DOC4000 and PCN data for all ICS assets and send CFF and CSV files to the receiving server. Even if your site uses Vulnerability Management, processing the vulnerability data takes place at the enterprise site after receiving inventory data.
