Host identification is required for normal operation, but you can disable it if you want to temporarily disable a scanner. When you disable host identification, vulnerability scanning stops working, and dashboard reporting errors will occur after 24 hours.

1. Sign in to the Arctic Wolf Unified Portal.
2. In the navigation menu, click Data Collection > Scanners.
3. Find the scanner to view, and then click View Scanner.
   Tip:

   The scanner must be online for configuration changes. If needed, use filters to limit your results. For more information, see Scanner filters.

4. In the Scanner Configuration section:
   1. Click the Host Identification toggle to the on position.
   2. Optional: Click the Vulernability scanning toggle to the on position.
5. Click Update Configuration.

   This button is not available if the scanner is offline.
