Services Management

A network service (workload) is a process that runs on the asset endpoint and listens for network traffic on a port or several ports.

For the purpose of network management, the service could be defined by the port or range of port the service uses to accept network traffic or by the process name on the endpoint.

Network services are used across the application to define micro-segmentation policies to dynamically affect multiple assets as well as service requests to access services on specific asset endpoints.

Creating a new Service

Creating a new Service allows segmentation policies to be built across differing workloads.

To create a new Service for segmentation policies:

1. Log in with an Administrator account.
2. Navigate to Management > Services and click the Add button.
3. Click on the parameter name for details about each or follow the guidance provided here:
   1. Name: Network service name to use as a reference to the service in other parts of the application.
   2. Description: Optionally, a comment or details about this service.
   3. Ports: Ports defined by the service.
   4. Type: Service port type specification: Single Port, Port Range, Application
   5. Protocol: Network protocol (UDP or TCP) of the port traffic.
   6. Port, Range or Application: Service port specification. The port specification might be one of the following depending of the selected port type; Port number, Lower or upper number of the port range, The application process name on the endpoint.
   7. Ports Action: The action to add or to remove the port from the service.
