Connectors
The Connectors page provides an overview to manage and configure connectors for your environment. This helps you automate data collection, monitoring, and compliance processes by linking out to external tools and data sources.
Connectors are scoped to a system. You reach the page from Connectors under ConMon: Maintain in the left navigation.
The page has three tabs: Configured, Available, and CAS Instances.
Configured Tab
This is the first view you see when opening Connectors. The table lists every connector you have already created, with the following details:
- Name – The name you gave the connector.
- Category – The compliance area the connector serves, for example System and Information Integrity or Security Training.
- Type – The connector type, for example CrowdStrike Falcon EDR.
- Execution – Where the connector runs, for example Cloud.
- Created and Created By
- Last Modified and Last Modified By
Here’s what you can do in this tab:
- Edit a connector To change settings such as credentials, click the edit icon on the connector's row, make your updates, and save.
- Delete a connector If a connector is no longer needed, click the delete icon. You’ll get a confirmation prompt to avoid accidental removal.
- Empty state If no connectors are configured yet, the table will be blank. This indicates you need to set one up.
A search box filters by name, and a Category control filters by compliance area.
Available Tab
The Available tab displays all supported connector types as cards. Each card shows the connector name, its category, a short description of the product, and whether it Supports Sync Lookups.
Creating a connector
- Click Create. A Create Connector window opens listing the available connector types.
- Select the connector you want to use. The window then shows input fields specific to that connector type.
- Complete the required fields, test the connection where the connector supports it, and save your configuration.
Once created, the connector automatically appears in the Configured tab for ongoing management.
CAS Instances Tab
The CAS Instances tab lists the Connector Automation Service instances registered for the system. See Configuring CAS for how these are set up.
