About this document

This document provides the step-by-step procedure to configure Axonius in SAFE.


Introduction

This integration helps you fetch and update the metadata for the assets already onboarded in SAFE Platform. It includes fields like FQDN, IP Address, and Asset Type, as well as Custom Fields like "Tags" and "Connection Labels" from Axonius. Axonius integration also pulls Adapter Tags from Axonius. Pulling Custom fields values would require creation of custom fields in SAFE One. Some of these Custom field keys have a standard name where as Adapter tags would require specific keys to be created.
