About Source Details
View and manage a specific source's configuration.
The Sources page displays all the sources you have permission to view on the platform. Selecting a specific source in the table opens its details page, where you can view and manage the individual source’s configuration. The source details are organized into tabs, which allow you to manage the configurations for the source’s validators, segmentations, incidents, and so on.
