Setting Adapter Ingestion Rules

Use Ingestion Rules to decide which entities to ingest from the data fetched from adapters. You can configure Ingestion Rules for all connections for an adapter, configure different Ingestion Rules for each adapter connection, or only configure Ingestion Rules for a specific adapter connection. Ingestion Rules support all Axonius asset types.

Ingestion Rules Structure

Ingestion rules work using Boolean operator conditions. Each rule is made up of a primary statement and an optional post action.

Ingestion rules support multiple statements. These are handled using OR, AND, or Custom logical operators:

  • Choose OR to ingest an entity once one of the rules applies (this is the default).
  • Choose AND to ingest an entity only when all of the rules apply.
  • Choose Custom to define a precise logical combination of rules using a custom expression (for example: 1 AND (2 OR 3)). See Custom Logical Expressions for details.
