Integrator Manager

Integrators are plug-ins that can be used in Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment to extend the features and functionality of Sentinel remediation actions. The Sentinel system is loaded with several Integrators by default, but you can download updates and additional Integrators from the Sentinel Content page.

Integrators allow Sentinel to connect to other external systems, for example, an LDAP server, SMTP server, or SOAP server. JavaScript actions can use Integrators to interact with other systems. For example, you can set the attribute in Novell eDirectory (an LDAP server) to enable or disable a user, edit details and so on. You could also start an Identity Manager workflow, such as a provisioning request, by using SOAP calls.

The general process for using an Integrator to perform remediation actions includes the following steps:

  1. Determine the best type of Integrator to access the external system with which you want to interact.

  2. Import and configure the appropriate Integrator to connect to the external system.

  3. Write a JavaScript action to be executed through the Integrator. This script makes calls to methods specific to the Integrator in order to execute actions on the external system.

  4. Import and configure the JavaScript action by using the Action Manager.

  5. Perform additional configuration, if desired, to associate the action with a deployed correlation rule or an event menu action.

  6. Execute the action when a correlation rule fires, manually by a user from the event menu, or from the Execute Incident Action menu in an incident.

For more information on specific Integrators, see the documentation that is available with the Integrators. You can download the updated Integrators from the Sentinel documentation Web site. Alternatively, you can view the Integrators documentation by clicking the Help button in Integrator Manager after configuring the Integrator.
