When implementing VDI, you can use the existing default plug-in or create your own.

The default plug-in uses a sensor-provided client hostname and DNS name to correlate to an existing Sensor ID. You can create additional plug-ins that correlate the sensor to an existing Sensor ID based on other characteristics of the system, for example, a MAC address or an IP address.

The default plug-in provided with the Carbon Black EDR server is located here:
