Query Active Directory Extract

This is a simple objective that scans the user and group details retrieved from various Snare Agents as part of the "Retrieve Data" objectives within "Snare Agents".

Utilise the search functions to scan for particular users or groups of interest. The search function provides a very basic query builder. Results are returned in tabular form.

Remote Management

This section provides the ability to audit and manage the configuration of the Snare Agents within your environment.  By default it contains a single 'Manage Agents' objective, but this objective can be cloned, renamed, and deleted, to support as many different combinations of agent configurations as required. Simply Right-Click on the objective and choose from the options in the menu.

...

To set up an Agent Management objective, open one of the Remote Management objectives (the default is Manage Agents) and go to the Configuration section (click 'Configure' in the top icons menu).

Snare Agent Type

Specify the type of the Snare Agents to be managed through this objective. Different agent versions have been grouped based on Operating System and major version changes to prevent incompatible configurations from being compared and saved. Remember, you can easily Clone the objective for each type of Snare Agent you use.

...

Alternatively, an IP address range can be specified by clicking the 'Add IP address range' button. Simply specify the IP range in the format: 10.1.1.1-10.1.1.5, and the domain to append to the IP to form the hostname.

Adding an IP address range inserts all of the specified IP addresses into the Non-reporting Agents field. So it is easy to remove specific IP addresses from the middle of the range as required.

...

The objective needs to be configured and regenerated at least once before any of its functions are available.

Snare Agents

The first content tab provides a summary overview of the status of each Agent (both managed and ignored), grouped by status. The hostname of each agent is listed, along with IP address, Agent Type and version.

...

• Agents matching the Master configuration

  • These Agents are online and completely match the Master Configuration, with no differences.

• Agents with configuration different to the Master Configuration

  • These Agents are online but their configuration is different to the Master Configuration.

• Agents that cannot be contacted

  • Agents that match the Operating System (from Agent Type filter), and Hostname filter, but cannot be contacted. Some of these Agents may have the wrong version, but since this information is identified once the Agent is contacted it is impossible to determine this information while they are offline.

• Agents ignored by version string filter

  • Online Agents excluded from management due to the version string filter. 

• Agents ignored by hostname filter

  • Agents excluded from management due to the hostname filter.

• Agents ignored by type filter

  • Agents excluded from management due to the Agent type filter.

Master Config

The Master Config tab provides a way to view the existing Master Configuration, refresh it with imported config from an Agent, or clear it completely.

...

Finally, the Master configuration can be cleared from the objective if it is no longer required/accurate.

Config Differences

The Agent Config Differences tab lists each online Agent that doesn't match the Master configuration exactly, with a list of the parameters that do not match for review. Only the Agent parameters which do not match the Master parameters are listed, and all others will be an exact match.

The first column is the configuration parameter name, the second is the value set on the Agent, and the third is the Master configuration value. Fields which are missing from either side will be marked with 'Not Configured'.

Refresh Specific Agents

When there are a large number of Agents managed in a single objective, it takes time to Regenerate everything. This makes debugging a small subset of Agents a problem if you have to wait for 30+ minutes after each change. To get around this, the Refresh Specific Agents tab provides the ability to specify which Agents you wish to regenerate on-demand.

Simply select the Agents to be regenerated by ticking the Checkboxes and clicking 'Refresh Selected Agents'. The objective will regenerate, and only retrieve data from the selected Agents. It will use the previously retrieved config values to work out the differences reports for each Agent that wasn't refreshed.

Agent Processing Errors

Any errors encountered while regenerating the objective will be listed on this tab. All of the Agents listed under "Agents that cannot be contacted" will be listed on this page with the reason why they could not be contacted. Likewise, when Config Push is enabled, Agents with a configuration that does not match, will have a reason listed here too.
