Local Data Stores
Local Data Stores, i.e. local storage and local memory are standard scan locations. DDC supports Windows and Linux as local storage data stores.
Note
You cannot scan a mounted network share as local storage. Local data stores need an agent installed on the same host.
As DDC utilizes the Hostname/IP to determine the system for scanning, avoid having multiple hosts with identical Hostname/IP combinations, as DDC may randomly choose one.
Adding Local Data Stores
To add a local data store use the Add Data Store wizard to add a local data store.
1. Select Type & Category
In the Select Type & Category screen of the wizard select Local Storage in Select Data Store Category.
In the Select Local Type drop-down list, you will see Local Storage already selected.
Note
When you select a category under Select Data Store Category, Select Type will list only data stores that belong to the selected category. The Local Storage category has only one type, regardless if you are adding a Windows or Linux data store.
Click Next.
2. General Info
Specify the following details:
Data Store Name: Name for the data store.
Description (Optional): Description for the data store.
Location Name: Location of the data store.
Add Location: Click Add Location to add new locations to the Location Name dropdown list. Refer to Adding Locations for detailed steps.
Sensitivity Level (Optional): Sensitivity level for the data store. Refer to Sensitivity Levels for details.
Enable Data Store: Whether to enable the newly added data store. Select the check box to enable the data store.
Click Next.
3. Configure Connection
The Configure Connection screen is displayed.
In the Hostname/IP field specify a valid hostname, IP address, or Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the agent running on the machine where the local data store resides. For example:
10.0.0.1oragent123. The hostname must be longer than two characters.
Tip
Make sure that the agent can resolve its own hostname. If it cannot, add it to its hosts file. For example, if its hostname is 'agent123', add this line:
127.0.0.1 localhost agent123Note
When creating a scan for a local storage type data store, make sure that the target path syntax format matches the local store type. For example, for Windows it could be
C:\path\to\folder\file.txt, and for Linux/home/username/file.txt.Click Next.
4. Add Access Control & Tags
(Optional) Grant the
All groups (default)access for reports. Alternatively, select a group.Click Save.
The data store is added to the Data stores page. If the Ready to Scan column shows Ready, then data store is properly configured.
For more information on Access control and Tags, expand the section below.
Access Control & Tags
Access Control & TagsThe Access Control & Tags screen in the Add Data Store wizard allows you to grant access rights to your data store and add tags. More details below:
ACCESS CONTROL - select user groups that can access the data store. Access to a data store provides ability to see reports that include scans of that data store. The available options are:
All groups: All groups of users can access the data store through reports. This is the default setting.
Selected group/s: Specified user defined groups can access the data store through reports. When this option is selected, select a group from the dropdown list. This list shows existing user defined groups. The user defined groups must already exist on CipherTrust Manager. If no user defined groups exist, ask the administrator to create a group. If needed, you can select multiple groups. Start typing the name of the desired group and select from the suggested groups.
TAGS - select a tag from the Add Tag dropdown list. Please check the list of prebuilt tags in Predefined Tags.
Tip
New tags can also be added. Start typing a new tag, and click the New: <new_tag> link that appears below the drop-down list.
Add as many tags as needed.
To remove a tag, click the close icon in the tag name.
Click Save to create the data store. At any time during the configuration you can click Back to go to any of the previous wizard screens to update the configuration. The newly created data store appears on the Data Stores page. By default, data stores are displayed in alphabetic order by name. Depending on the number of entries per page, you might need to navigate to other pages to view the newly created data store.
