Linking to an External Tool from the Carbon Black App Control Console

The External Analytics tab of the System Configuration page in the Carbon Black App Control Console provides fields in which you can define links to reports on an external tool.

If a Root URL and Analytics Reports for each category are configured on this page, the following links appear in the right menu of their respective pages:

• Computer Analytics – This appears on the Computer Details page.
• File Analytics – This appears on the File Details and File Instance Details pages.
• User Analytics – This appears on the Edit Login Account page.

The content of the pages displayed when a console user clicks one of these links is determined only by the URL and query definitions provided on the configuration page. The Carbon Black App Control Console user must have credentials to log into the external server, and the URL provided must allow the user to log in with those credentials even when using the Carbon Black App Control Console to reach it.

See Enable External Analytics Features for details of how these links are enabled. See Using the Splunk App for App Control for an example of what these reports might contain.
