To deploy the end-to-end Data Connector solution, do the following:

Deploying a Data Connector VM

  1. Review the prerequisites and requirements, then set up your environment and components. For details, see BloxOne Connectivity and Service Requirements.
  2. If you do not already have a join token, create one. For details, see Creating Join Tokens.
  3. Set up a Data Connector VM (virtual machine) by using either the Docker or OVA package (for container and VM) that Infoblox provides, and connect the virtual machine to the Cloud Services Portal using the join token. For information on all installer packages, including the installers for Docker or the OVA package, see Downloading BloxOne Apps. All installer packages are available at Administration > Downloads of the Cloud Services Portal. Within the Cloud Services Portal, all available installer packages are listed in the drop-down menu of the Hosts section of the page.
    Note that you deploy a Data Connector VM as a host running the Data Connector service either in BloxOne DDI or BloxOne Threat Defense. For details, see Deploying Hosts.

Creating a Data Connector Service

  1. Log in to the Cloud Services Portal and enable the Data Connector service on the .
  2. Create a Data Connector service instance and associate it with a configured host. For details, see Creating Services.

Configuring Traffic Flows

  1. Before you configure traffic flows for Data Connector, you must first set up the sources from which you want Data Connector to collect data. Note that BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud is preconfigured as the source and destination, and BloxOne DDI is preconfigured as the source. No configuration is required on your part. For details, see Configuring Sources.
  2. You must also configure the destinations to which you want Data Connector to send source data. For details, see Configuring Destinations.
  3. Optionally, you can add ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) filters to extract specific source data before Data Connector sends the data to the configured destinations.
    For details, see Configuring ETL Filters.
  4. Once you have configured sources, destinations, and ETL filters, you can configure not only the traffic flows that define the types of source data that will be collected from the sources but also the destinations to which the data will be sent. For details, see Configuring Traffic Flows.
