Create an outbound application programming interface (API) integration to customize sending of data from the Guardium® Data Security Center to external systems for further processing or visualization.

Before you begin

To see the various settings, open the main menu. Open this menu by clicking the main menu icon (main menu). After opening the menu, click Configurations > Integrations. On the Discover tab, select Outbound application programming interface (API).

Procedure

  1. From the drop down, select the report that you want to generate and send to the external system.
  2. Customize the report columns that you want to include.
  3. Configure the connection by selecting the HTTP method you want to use.
  4. Assign a unique name for the connection.
  5. Enter the server URL and public SSL certificate information.
  6. Select the timestamp format that you want to use. This format is applied to any date time fields in the report columns.
  7. Select the authentication type and provide the related credentials.
  8. Map the report columns to JSON objects. You can use mapping to change the names of the report columns.
  9. Using JSON preview, review the contents of the report and the format in which the report is sent to the generic API endpoint.
  10. Click Send data and ensure you receive the Data successfully sent through the API notification.

What to do next

After you create the API integration, you can create a workflow to generate a report and send the data on a schedule. For more information, see Creating a workflow.
