Using Configurations to Group Commands

An integration configuration resource represents a family of commands of the same type. Commands in a configuration share the same context, rendering method, and targets.

Configurations provide a way of grouping similar commands and specifying common options for where on the ArcSight Console UI the commands are available (contexts) and where commands run (scripts run locally; others, like Connector commands, can have one or more remote targets). This is partly a matter of preference (about how you want to group, organize, and present commands to ArcSight Console users), and partly a matter of which commands belong together.

Setting up configurations is a step in a multi-part process of making a set of integration commands available to ArcSight Console users. (Other tasks include setting up commands, targets, and user login parameters).

This topic explains how to add and edit the configuration portion of an integration command solution. For an overview of the integration commands feature, see Integration Commands . For more details on the relationship between commands, configurations, and targets, see How Integration Commands Work.

To create a configuration:

1. In the Navigator panel, select the Integration Commands resource from the drop-down menu and click the Configurations tab.

2. Right-click a group (folder) where you want to create the configuration, and select New Configuration.

   This launches the Configurations Editor in the Inspect/Edit panel.

3. Select a type for the configuration you are definint:

   • Script (see Script Commands)
   • URL (see URL Commands)
   • Connector (see Connector Commands)

4. Fill in the fields on Attributes, Context, Commands, and Targets tabs as described in:

• Configurations Attributes

• Configurations Contexts

• Configurations Commands

• Configuration Targets (when commands run on remote targets)

5. Click Apply or OK to add the new configuration.
