Configuring Other Vendor

Integrate custom sources that maintain IP address details with AppViewX to sync IP-related information into the database. This IP data can then be correlated with DNS providers, IPAM information, ServiceNow, and other systems.

Prerequisites:

Before you configure other vendor, ensure you created a custom workflow to sync the data from the vendor into DDI+ custom collection.

To configure other vendor:

  1. Go to DDI+ > INTEGRATION HUB, and then click Add new vendor.
    The Select vendor page is displayed.
  2. On the Select Vendor page, click Others.
  3. On the Vendor Configuration page, under the Information section, enter or select the required field information.
    The following table describes the various fields in this section:
    Table 1. General - Field and Description Table
    Field Description
    *Name Enter a unique name to identify the vendor account which is being configured.
    Description Enter a description for the purpose of configuring this vendor, if required.
    Data center Select a data center from the options available in the dropdown list.
    *Vendor Enter the vendor name.
    *: Mandatory fields
  4. Click Next.
  5. On the Vendor Configuration page, under the Credentials section, enter or select the required field information.
    The following table describes the various fields in this section:
    Table 2. Credentials - Field and Description Table
    Field Description
    *Auth type Displays the Basic Auth method of authentication selected by default. Select a desired authentication type from the dropdown list.
    Note: Based on the Auth type selection, you will need to enter the the auth-related fields.
    *URL Enter API URL for the vendor with the HTTPS/HTTP protocol.
    *: Mandatory fields
  6. Click Next.
  7. On the Vendor Configuration page, under the Configurations tab, select a custom workflow from the Workflow dropdown list.
    Note: If the Enable Advanced Config toggle is turned on, BlueCat and Infoblox vendor sync integrations for /4 and larger subnets can be excluded by specifying the subnet details in the "skipSubnets": [] array.
    This workflow initiates the process of adding data into DDI+.
  8. Click Finish.
    It takes a while sync the data into DDI+. You can view the data in IP Search.
    Note: You need to add an entry for the custom source to the ddi_settings_collection within the IP_Search_Settings document in the sources. This will enable data synchronization in IP Search.
