Configuring IT Security Search

You can manage the configuration information and the credentials to access IT Security Search Warehouse Rest API. You can globally configure Enterprise Reporter to send information collected about Active Directory and Computers, NTFS, Azure Active Directory, Azure Resources, and Microsoft Teams to the IT Security Search Repository after every discovery.

To be able to push collected data to the repository, the database account must have db-owner rights to the Enterprise Reporter database. The first discovery transmission includes all of the information collected for IT Security Search (based on your configuration settings). Subsequent discovery transmissions include only information that has been updated, is new, or has been deleted. You can view the statuses of the 100 most recent data transfers sent to the IT Security Search Repository or send all of the information in the database if maintenance or support issues occur.

For Enterprise Reporter to access the IT Security Search Warehouse Rest API, you must provide the appropriate host name, port, and credentials. This information can be obtained from the IT Security Search administrator.

Configuring a NAS Host Device

You can manage the configuration information and the credentials for all NAS host devices that contain targets to be collected. Configuring NAS host devices is only required if a NAS host device target has been added to an NTFS or File Storage Analysis discovery and that discovery is collecting volume information. For more information, see File Storage Analysis Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices , or NTFS Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices .

If you have NAS host devices that contain targets to be collected, you must enable the collection option and add the configuration and credentials for each host device. You can optionally omit NAS host device configuration and collect shares as volumes for NAS device targets in the discovery. Use this option when volumes cannot be retrieved or do not need to be collected.

NOTE: Additional configuration is not required to support Pure Storage Flashblade device. See NTFS Discovery: Include scopes .

Managing Tenant Applications

Azure applications are used by cloud discoveries (Azure Active Directory, Azure Resource, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint Online). The cloud applications used by Enterprise Reporter must be registered in your Azure environment and consent must be provided for the application’s permissions. The owner of each Azure application is the person who first configures the application.

The Tenant Application Manager in Enterprise Reporter tracks which tenants are configured and available for discoveries. Basic configuration is available for the Enterprise Reporter applications. Any outside changes to Azure applications must be managed separately and can adversely affect the results of your collections.
