ISE Profiling Design Guide - Profiling Services Global Configuration, Probe Setup, Device Integration
The document provides guidance on configuring profiling services in Cisco ISE. It recommends reviewing the details of each probe to determine which to enable for intended purposes without excessive data collection. The profiling configuration is currently unique to each Policy Service Node (PSN) but in most deployments each PSN should have identical settings, except the pxGrid Probe which should be enabled on a subset of nodes and certain probes may only apply to specific PSNs serving certain locations.

ows, it has visibility into the decrypted HTTPS data.
Even when the HTTP probe is disabled on the PSN, the node will parse the browser user agent string from the web trac and correlate the data to the endpoint based on its associated session ID. When browser strings are collected through this method, the source of the data is listed as Guest Portal or CP (Client Provisioning) rather than HTTP Probe. More details on the HTTP Probe are provided later in this guide.
Be sure to review the details of each probe in this guide
for guidance on which probes to enable and for what purpose. In general, it is not recommended to congure all probes, especially in a production deployment, as this may result in excessive data collection than is required to achieve the desired goal.
The Proling Conguration is currently unique to each
PSN. In most deployments, each PSN should be congured with identical Proler Conguration settings. A couple exceptions to this general rule include
The pxGrid Probe should be enabled on only a subset
of PSNs, typically no more than two nodes. More details can be found under the pxGrid Probe section Specic probes may be applicable to PSNs servicing particular locations or sections of the network. For example, if PSNs serving a group of network devices support Device Sensor, then it may not be necessary to enable other probes that collect the same set of attributes. Another example would be to perform discovery only using the SNMP probes prior to the enablement of RADIUS at a new location. This would allow an administrator to gain visibility into the network prior to any network authentication being congured. Similarly, it may be desirable to dedicate a node for data center visibility even though RADIUS-based authentication is not planned for server farms https://ciscocustomer.lookbookhq.com/iseguidedjourney/ISE-profiling-design 1/1
