Managing connections

When you create connections to environments, Guardium® Insights keeps these connections in one convenient location so that you can edit and manage the connections, as needed.

To access the Connections page, click Connections in the main menu (main menu).
  • Filter: You can filter this view by opening the Filter window (select the filter criteria and then click Apply filters).
  • Customize columns: To customize the columns in the table, click Customize columns. Then, under Customize columns, select the columns that you want to display in the table - and drag the columns to reorder them. Click Done when you finish.
  • Preset views: If you filter the table or customize its columns, you can save these settings by creating a Preset view. When you click a preset view, the table changes to reflect the filter and columns.

    Guardium Insights provides two default preset views: All connections and All unhealthy connections. To create a new preset view, filter the list of connections and organize the columns as needed, and then click New preset view. If desired, give the preset card a unique name and a description. You can also set the preset view to default. Each preset view card has a menu with actions that allow you to rename the card, reorder the cards, and remove the card. Nondefault cards also include an action to make the card a default.

  • Manage connection credentials: Click Manage > Credentials. Select the tab for the environment whose credentials you want to address (for example, select Azure accounts or AWS accounts). To remove credentials, click the delete button (delete button) next to the credentials. To view or edit an account, select its link in the table's Accounts column.
  • Connection events report: In this report you can view administrative and traffic events that occurred on a connection over time. You can also use the filter to view universal connector connections only. The Connection events report can also be filtered by flowing event types:
    • ADMIN_CREATE
    • ADMIN_UPDATE
    • ADMIN_DELETE
    • STATUS
    • DATA
    • ERROR

    DATA events, for instance, describes the number of events occurred on a specific database via a specific connection over the last minute. For example, a DATA event message can be: 1000 events occurred on db test_123 during the last minute.
