Create a Cisco Cyber Vision Connector

This task discusses how to send data from Cisco Cyber Vision to the Security Cloud Control.

Before you begin

Cisco Cyber Vision must be reachable from the machine on which the dynamic attributes connector is running. You must know its IP address, port, and API key.

To find the API key in the Cyber Vision management console, click Admin > API > Token, then click Show to display the token and to copy the token to the clipboard.

Procedure


Step 1

Log in to Security Cloud Control.

Step 2

Click Tools & Services > Dynamic Attributes Connector > Connectors.

Step 3

Do any of the following:

  • Add a new connector: click Add icon (add icon), then click the name of the connector.

  • Edit a connector: click Edit icon (edit icon).

  • Delete a connector: click Delete icon (delete icon).

Step 4

Enter the following information.

Value

Description

Description

Optional description.

Cyber Vision Prefix

Enter an alphanumeric string to identify dynamic objects from this Cyber Vision's IP address when objects are sent to Security Cloud Control.

If you have one Cyber Vision IP address, you can enter any value such as 1 .

Pull Interval

(Default 60 seconds.) Interval at which data mappings are retrieved from Cyber Vision.

The minimum value for Pull Interval is 1 second. You can set the maximum to any value you want. We recommend against setting the minimum to a low value because it can generate a lot of traffic, and, when applicable, can result in your being billed for the traffic.

IP

(Required.) Enter the Cyber Vision IP address.

Port

(Required.) Enter the Cyber Vision listen port.

Token

(Required.) Enter the API token.

Step 5

Click Test and make sure the test succeeds before you save the connector.
