Please note that most objectives under the "Administrative Tools" and "Data Management Tools" are restricted for only the Administrator user exclusively. This is because of the security risks and potential of harm to the Snare Central server involved. This means that most of such objectives cannot be accessed by LDAP users nor by local users that do not belong to the Administrators local group. This also means that the "Manage Access Control" interface cannot be used to assign permissions to these administrative objectives either. The complete list of the Administrator only objectives is the following.

Threat Intelligence Configuration

Snare Server 8.0+ includes an updated collection infrastructure, which is capable of interfacing with the new Snare Advanced Threat Intelligence (SATI) module. Enabling the threat intelligence capability on the Snare Central Server will facilitate delivery of selected important events, up to an infrastructure which is capable of providing enhanced dashboards and log intelligence.

Delivery of data to a non-local elasticsearch instance is also supported. Currently all log types that Snare Central receives will be forwarded to the destination server.the list of log types are as follows:

Delivery of data to a non-local elasticsearch instance is also supported. The Snare Server can be configured to log to a local elastic instance (which is installed and available as part of version 8.0 of the Snare Central server), or can be configured to log to a remote elastic instance. If the remote elastic instance is protected by either X-Pack or ElasticShield from InterSect Alliance, HTTPS/TLS and authentication can be activated.
