Background Snapshots Reprocessing

Network Snapshots in Forward Enterprise can become invalidated when the platform is updated or when certain changes, such as adding or updating a Synthetic Device, are made. Invalidated Snapshots must be reprocessed before they can be used again.

The Snapshot selector indicates whether a Snapshot is processed or invalidated, and reprocessing can be triggered manually by clicking on the Snapshot.
