Steps to Create a Connector

Go to the Connectors tab, click Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Connectors, and then click Create Connector, and our wizard can walk you through the steps.

Basic Details

Provide a name and description for the connector. We recommend you provide a unique name for the connector.

Under applications, you can find two checkboxes.

  • AssetView: Asset Inventory - The connector fetches cloud resource data and populates your Asset Inventory on CSAM.  This is active by default for all connectors. This cannot be disabled.
  • CSPM - The connector fetches cloud resource data and populates your Cloud Inventory on TotalCloud.

Authentication Details

Authenticate your cloud account with Qualys.

Assign Tags

Assign tags to the connector that you are creating. You can also create a new tag. For details on creating new tags, see Configure Tags.

Confirmation

Review the connector settings you configured and then click Create Connector.

That’s it! The connector connects with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to discover resources from the configured region.

Once the connector is created, you can run the connector, disable or delete the connector, and view assets and resources information. 

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure page displays the list of OCI connectors. The Status column indicates the status of the connector created: Completed successfully, Completed with errors, Queued, Synchronizing, and Disabled.
