Export data from Guardium Data Protection systems

Before you begin

To export data from Guardium® Data Protection, connect one or more Guardium Data Protection central managers to Guardium Insights. For more information, see Connecting to Guardium Data Protection systems.

Attention: To use outliers information from connected Guardium Data Protection systems, you must enable non-historical data export (streaming) for those systems.

About this task

You can configure two types of data export from Guardium Data Protection to Guardium Insights: historical data and non-historical data.

Historical data

Historical data refers to aggregated data from Guardium Data Protection aggregators and central mangers configured to act as aggregators. Historical data includes things like full SQL, policy violations, and exception logs. Exporting historical data is a one-time operation that transfers data from a specified period of time.

Non-historical data
Non-historical data refers to non-aggregated data from Guardium Data Protection collectors and includes things like full SQL, policy violations, and exception logs. In addition, non-historical data also includes outliers information in the form of pre-calculated outliers or summarized outliers data, depending on the configuration of Guardium Insights outliers feature flags. Exporting outliers information is available for Guardium Data Protection aggregators, central managers configured to act as aggregators, and collectors. Once enabled, non-historical data export (streaming) is an ongoing process.

For more information about historical and non-historical data marts, see Guardium Data Protection data martsFor more information about Guardium Insights outliers feature flags, see Outliers feature flag.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the main menu. Open this menu by clicking the main menu icon (main menu) Select Integrations and then click the Guardium tile that shows a count of connected central managers.
    If the Guardium tile is unavailable, connect one or more Guardium Data Protection systems. For more information, see Connecting to Guardium Data Protection systems.
  2. From the Guardium central managers page, click Schedule manage units exports to open the Export managed unit data window.
  3. From the Select central manager step, use the drop-down menu to select a connected Guardium Data Protection central manager and click Next to continue.
  4. From the Select aggregator data step, configure historical and non-historical data export for aggregators and central managers configured to act as aggregators.
    1. Use the Aggregators and Central manager (as an aggregator) tabs to select Guardium Data Protection systems.
    2. If you wish to include historical data marts, select Include historical data and use the calendar tool to define start and end dates.
    3. Click the Schedule data export button to begin exporting data from the selected systems.
    4. Click Next to continue.
  5. From the Select collector data step, configure non-historical data export for collectors.
    1. Under the Collectors tab, select Guardium Data Protection systems.
    2. Optionally use the calendar tool to define a custom start date.
    3. Click the Enable button to begin exporting data from the selected systems.
  6. Click Finish to exit the Export managed unit data tool.
