Class Customer

The Customer class represents the MSSP Customer information that is assigned to data stored in Sentinel. All data (events, identities, assets, vulnerabilities) are flagged as belonging to one or more customers. This is intended for use in Managed Security Service Provider environments where data from each customer should be kept separate, but can also be used by single customers to keep different sections of the enterprise's data apart. Each customer is identified by a name and an internal ID. In most cases you only need to know the name, which is usually set as the instance.CONFIG.params.MSSP_Customer parameter. Ordinarily you will just place this name in events sent to the ESM framework. In some cases, however, other data objects want the Customer ID instead of the name; use this class for this situation. The class accepts these pre-defined attributes:

Name {String} : The name of the customer
ID {String} : The ID of the customer

Note that if the Customer has not yet been seen by the system, there will be no corresponding record in the database and the getId() method will fail. This will only happen the first time, however; after a single event or data object referencing the customer has been sent, the Customer object will be created and stored.
Defined in: customer.js.
