For each external data source you want to use in Security Center, you must first create a record type, define the record format, and configure how you want to display this record type in your system.

Before you begin

Create a Record Caching Service role.

What you should know

In Security Center, a record type defines the data format and display properties of a set of records that you can share across the entire system through the Record Fusion Service role. When you create a record type through the Record Caching Service role, the latter automatically registers the record type with the Record Fusion Service.

The following procedure only covers the creation of record types managed by the Record Caching Service role. To register map objects as record types, see the last step in Configuring the Map Manager role.

NOTE: Security Center comes with most of your system data, such as system events, preregistered as record types. For more information, see Record Fusion Service configuration tabs.

You can view the ingested records using the Unified report investigation task. If your records are georeferenced using the WGS84 standard, you can also view them on geographic maps.

Procedure

  1. Open the System task and click the Roles view.
  2. Select the Record Caching Service that you want to use to manage this record type and click the Properties tab.
  3. Define the record format.
  4. Configure the record display properties.
  5. If your record type has latitude and longitude fields, configure its map display properties.
  6. Click Apply.
    The record type is created and listed on the Properties page of the Record Fusion Service role. A new set of privileges are also added to the privilege hierarchy on the User - Privileges page. Under Task privileges > Investigation > Record fusion > Records, a new privilege bearing the name of your record type is added.
    NOTE: If you are not a member of the Administrators user group, an administrator must grant you the new privilege associated to the record type you created before you can access it.
  7. Grant the new privilege to the users that you allow to view, modify, and delete data from this record type.

After you finish

Import data through your record type.
