  2. Assign Software - Search for and identify the software in the knowledge base that can be associated with this signature.
  3. Reason of change - Specify the business reason for the change, for example, you may want to add signature to enhance the efficiency of software scans.
  4. Summary - This window shows the summary of changes, after which the signature will be added to the database.
You have to import the new version of the software catalog to be able to see the new signature.
Note: You have to specify the Software Knowledge Base Toolkit URL by using the setserverconf command to be able to add a signature to the knowledge base. First, you need to log in to the CLI and then input the setserverconf -k SwKBToolURL -v SWKBT_URL command, where the SWKBT_URL parameter is the Web address of the application in the following format: protocol_name://hostname:port/ (for example, setserverconf -k SwKBToolURL -v https://9.156.44.150:12344/). Restart the server.
