Add Nodes in Bulk via Okta

Cloudhouse Guardian (Guardian) offers the ability to import nodes in bulk from a number of sources, including AWS, Azure, CSV files, and more. This topic describes how to add nodes in bulk by importing them into your Guardian instance via Okta.

Note: Any existing nodes that are detected are not re-added to your Guardian instance. If any changes have occurred on the node since the last import, the existing node is updated accordingly.

To add nodes in bulk via Okta applications, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Guardian web application, navigate to the Add Nodes tab (Inventory > Add Nodes).

  2. Click the Okta button. The Add Node Via Okta page is displayed.

  3. Here, you are required to complete the following options:

    Option

    Description

    Organization field

    The Okta domain address that you want to import the nodes from.

    API key field

    The Okta API Key required to authenticate Guardian's access. For more information on how to source this, see Manage Okta API Tokens | Okta.

  4. Once you have set the correct values for each of the options displayed, click Scan Node to add the Okta nodes to your Guardian instance.

Once complete, any nodes that are detected within Okta are automatically added to the Detected tab (Inventory > Detected). Here, you can choose which nodes you'd like to promote to the Monitored tab (Inventory > Monitored) for regular scanning. For more information, see Detected Nodes.
