Use this procedure for step-by-step guidance:

  1. In the Admin Utility on the source Integrity server, click the Data Forwarding link in the Additional Modules section. The Data Forwarding window is displayed.

  2. Click Add.

  3. Type the name for the data group, and then click OK. Since each data group is for a site, you should name the group in a way that identifies the site and its data.

  4. In Asset Models, select the type of asset, such as Recon, Invensys FoxIA, or PAS Vulnerability Management.

  5. In Assets, select the specific asset whose data you want to forward, such as the name of a Recon data owner or VM.

    If you want to forward system information, which is not associated with an asset model, check the System check box, and then select System in Assets.

  6. In Object Types, select an object type whose data you want to forward. For example, select InventoryItems to forward inventory data and select VMatch to forward vulnerability data.

  7. If you want to select only some properties to forward, in Property Names, select one or more properties whose data you want to forward.

    If you want all the properties, do not select any properties.

  8. In Attribute, select whether you want to select Native or Assigned properties. Assigned properties are defined by the asset model. In most cases, select Native.

    For Inventory Items select both assigned and native properties to forward.

  9. Click the plus sign (+).

  10. In Export to, type the path or browse to the folder where you want to create the CFF files for the selected data group.

    Each data group contains separate folders named for the assets selected for the data group.

  11. Click Save.

  12. Click OK on the Data Forwarding message window. This message indicates a schedule has been created for generating the data files. By default, the schedule is disabled so you can edit the schedule to run on the interval you want.

  13. Click Schedules in the left pane of the Admin Utility. The Schedule Imports and Monitor Progress window is displayed. The data forwarding schedule is listed with the name Schedule-datagroup.

  14. Select the schedule that was created, and then click Edit.

  15. On the General tab, check Enabled.

  16. On the Schedule tab, specify the interval you want to use for creating the data files, such as once a week, and then click OK. You can choose One Time Only and Run Now to test the schedule and review the generated files.

    Some assets depend on regular imports to run to gather data. Make sure you consider these assets and their required imports when setting the data forwarding schedule. For more information, see the Implementation Guide for each asset.

  17. After you have the generated files, move them to the folder on the destination Integrity installation associated with the group you created on the destination to receive the data.
