Templates for Windows Server Sensors 
Stellar Cyber provides predefined templates for Windows Server Sensor settings. These templates have been carefully configured to match common deployment scenarios. Once you have reviewed the settings in a template and seen how it operates in your environment, you can tailor the settings in individual channels to fit your needs using the instructions in Configuring Standard Sensor Profiles
The following templates are available for options in the Windows tab of the ADD/EDIT SENSOR PROFILE window:
-
Windows Detect Profile (Low Volume). The selection covers the minimal events required for native detections in Stellar Cyber.
-
Windows Context Profile (Medium Volume). Adds events commonly used by third-party detection rules.
-
Windows Compliance Profile (High Volume). Covers all Windows events.
Each of these profiles collects a different set of logs/events and results in a progressively higher volume of data from Low to Medium to High. The settings for each template are summarized in the table below:
|
