Scanning Module Selector in Akto

The Probing Module Selector in Akto allows you to choose which probing module (engine) to use when running agentic AI security probes. This is useful when multiple modules are available or when targeting a specific deployment.

You can use the selector to:

• Choose which module will execute the probe

• Run probes using a specific configured module

How to Use the Probing Module Selector

1. Go to AI Red Teaming > Agentic Collections.

2. Click Run scan to open the Configure Probe window.

3. In Select scanning Module, use the dropdown to pick the module you want (e.g., Default_b5f3).

4. Complete the other probe configurations.

5. Click Run once now to start the probe.

If unsure, leave the default module selected—Akto will use the active probing module automatically.

How to Set a Custom Probing Module Name

In your docker-compose-probing.yml file, add the environment variable MINI_PROBING_NAME under the akto-api-security-probing service.

version: '3.8'
services:
  akto-api-security-probing:
    image: public.ecr.aws/aktosecurity/akto-api-security-mini-probing:latest
    environment:
      RUNTIME_MODE: hybrid
      DATABASE_ABSTRACTOR_SERVICE_TOKEN: <Paste_token_here>
      PUPPETEER_REPLAY_SERVICE_URL: "http://akto-puppeteer-replay:3000"
      MINI_PROBING_NAME: <your_mini_probing_name>
    restart: always

Replace <your_mini_probing_name> with the desired module name (e.g., staging_module, us_east_1, qa_env).

✅ This name will be listed in the Select Probing Module dropdown when configuring a probe.
