    Article summary

    SharePoint - Send CSV creates a CSV file listing the assets returned by the selected query, or assets selected on the relevant asset page, and sends it to a specific path on SharePoint.

    See Creating Enforcement Sets to learn more about adding Enforcement Actions to Enforcement Sets.

    Note:

    Required Fields

    These fields must be configured to run the Enforcement Action.

    • Action name - The name of this Enforcement Action. The system sets a default name. You can change the name.
    • Configure Dynamic Values - Toggle on to enter a Dynamic Value statement. See Creating Enforcement Action Dynamic Value Statements to learn more about Dynamic Value statement syntax.

    • Use stored credentials from SharePoint adapter - Select this option to use credentials from the adapter connection. By default, the first connection is selected.
      • When you select this option, the Select Adapter Connection drop-down becomes available. Select the adapter connection to use for this Enforcement Action.
    Note:

    To use this option, you must successfully configure a SharePoint adapter connection.

    • Folder path - Specify the full folder path. If the path is incorrect or incomplete, the action will fail. Usually, the folder path starts with ‘Documents/’, for example: Documents/test_folder.
    • File name - The CSV file name.

    • Compute Node - The Axonius node to use when connecting to the specified host. For more details, see Connecting Additional Axonius Nodes.

    Additional Fields

    These fields are optional.

    • Authentication Method - Select the Authentication Method, either User Credentials, Client Credentials, or Client REST Credentials. When SharePoint Password Manager is enabled, see Configuration to Use when SharePoint Password Manager is Enabled below.

      • User Credentials - Enter the values for:
        • User Name - Enter the user name for the user account used to connect to SharePoint.
        • Password - Enter the password for the user account used to connect to SharePoint.
      • Client Credentials - Enter the values for:
        • Client ID - Enter the client ID.
        • Client Secret - Enter the client secret.
      • Client REST Credentials - Enter values for:
        • Host Name or IP Address (default: graph.microsoft.com) - - The host name or IP address used to check the Client REST Credentials. Use either the default value or one of the following values: http://microsoftgraph.chinacloudapi.cn or http://graph.microsoft.us.
        • Tenant - Enter the tenant name.
        • Client ID - Enter the client ID.
        • Client Secret - Enter the client secret.

    • Site URL - The URL of the SharePoint site, for example: https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite.

    • SharePoint Host Name - The host name of the SharePoint site, for example: mydomain.sharepoint.com.

    • Site Name - The site name of the SharePoint site, for example: mysite.

    • Append date and time to file name

      • If enabled, the date and time (in UTC) of enforcement action execution will be added as a suffix to the generated CSV file name. For example, axonius_data_2020-01-06-16:48:13.csv.
      • If disabled, the CSV file will be stored based on the specified/default file name.

    • Verify SSL (optional) - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.

    • HTTPS Proxy (optional) - Connect the adapter to a proxy instead of directly connecting it to the domain.

    • Create CSV even if no data is returned in the query - Select whether to create and send a CSV file even if the query does not return any results.

    Additional CSV Settings

    • Split by asset entities - Select to create a CSV file where each asset on a device is shown as a separate row. This separates each asset as the 'expand' option in the application. It separates each asset by its entity. For example, you will be able to know which values were fetched from each adapter connection. If you do not select this option, all values on a device are in the same cell on the CSV file.
    • Split by field values - Choose field value - For complex fields and lists you can create a CSV file where the values of complex fields and lists are represented as separate rows in the file. From the drop-down box select the value that you want to display in the file, 'Tags' for instance. Only fields that have been discovered are available. For example, if you export by Installed Software, you will be able to see each installed Software name and its version.
    • Don't split complex objects into columns - When selected, complex objects appear in a single column in JSON format. By default, each field in a complex object is split into a separate column in the CSV file.
    • Export CSV delimiter to use for multi-value fields (default: Export CSV delimiter to use for multi-value fields field under the System Settings section in the GUI Settings) - Specify a delimiter to separate between values within the same field of an exported CSV file, otherwise the delimiter defined in Export CSV delimiter to use for multi-value fields is used.
    • Maximum rows (default: 1048500) - Specify the maximum number of rows to be included in the CSV file. When you set a value here the generated CSV file will include the top x rows, based on the specified values. Otherwise, the generated CSV file will include the default maximum rows, set as 1048500. (note that this value is the maximum value supported by Excel, setting a higher value generates a file that can't be displayed fully or correctly in Excel)
    • Include associated devices (only for Vulnerabilities and Software) - For Software and Vulnerabilities queries. Toggle on this option to include the associated devices with the preferred hostname as a predefined field for each software or vulnerability. When you create a CSV file with associated devices (for Vulnerabilities or Software), if the exported query results are larger than the value set under Maximum rows (or the default value of 1048500), an appropriate notice is displayed at the end of the CSV file.
      • Device fields - This option is available for Software and Vulnerabilities. Select the device fields to add. By default Preferred Host Name is selected. Click add to select more fields. At least one field must be selected. Once you select fields, you can drag and drop to rearrange in the order that you want them to appear in the CSV file. Click the bin icon to remove a device field.
    • Include Associated fetch events (only for Fetch History) - For Adapter Fetch History queries, select this option to include details of the associated Fetch Events in the CSV file that is created.
    • Exclude parent complex objects columns (default: Disabled) - Enable this option to hide the parent field of complex fields in exported files.

    Configuration to Use when SharePoint Password Manager is Enabled

    When SharePoint Password Manager is enabled, use the following configuration settings.

    Select Client REST Credentials as the authentication method. Use the Site Name and SharePoint Host Name fields.

    For example:

    • Host Name - https://demo-account.sharepoint.com/sites/TEST2/Shared%20Documents/Forms/TestItems.aspx
    • Site Name - TEST2
    • Sharepoint Host Name - demo-account.sharepoint.com

    In the configuration, change /Shared Documents/LB5347 Files/PowerBI/GAP Report/All GAP to Documents/LB5347 Files/PowerBI/GAP Report/All GAP. Be sure to leave off the leading /.

    APIs

    Axonius uses the SharePoint REST operations via the Microsoft Graph REST API
    Refer to Get access without a user for details on obtaining credentials.

    To fetch users Axonius uses the SharePoint List Users endpoint.

    Required Ports

    Axonius must be able to communicate with the value supplied in Host Name or IP Address via the following ports:

    • TCP port 80/443

    Required Permissions

    The credentials used to run this Enforcement Action require the following SharePoint permission:

    • Sites.FullControl.All (permission type: Application)
