Before you create a Data Connector source, ensure that you understand the best practices when configuring Data Connector. For information, see Best Practices for Data Connector.

For Data Connector to collect data and security logs, and for traffic flows to function properly, you must set up your sources correctly.

Note

Infoblox Threat Defense is pre-configured as the source. No configuration is required on your part.

Do the following to set up NIOS as your source before you add it to the Data Connector traffic flows:

1. Log in to the Infoblox Portal.

2. Click Configure > Integrations > Data Connector.

3. Select the Source Configuration tab.

4. Configure the following source-related settings:

  • NAME: The name of the source configuration.
  • SOURCE TYPE: The filter criterion for the source process.
  • DESCRIPTION: The information about the source configuration.
  • STATE: An indication of whether the configuration is enabled or disabled.

Source Configuration

In the details panel located to the right of the page, you can view the source configuration. Click the information icon to open/close the panel.

Filters

Click the filter icon to open the filter options panel. Source configuration filters can be applied based on Name, Source Type, Description, and State. 

Use the search functionality (search box) to conduct a local search based on the source criterion.
