2. Client ID and Client Secret (required) - The credentials for a user account that has permission to fetch assets. For information on credentials, see API credentials.

3. Query ID (required) - Enter the query you created in your system so that Axonius can export the necessary data. For information on creating a query, see Setting up API credentials.

   Note:

   The following query is required for proper parsing of devices:
   devices during past 7d
| list device.name, device.entity, device.hardware.model, device.hardware.type, device.operating_system.name, device.days_since_last_seen, device.cpus, device.disks, device.gpus, device.boot.days_since_last_full_boot, device.connectivity.last_connectivity_type, device.hardware.machine_serial_number, device.location.type, device.login.last_login_user_name, device.operating_system.build, device.organization.entity
   
   

   For query information, see Nexthink Query Language (NQL).
   For data model information, see NQL data model.

4. Verify SSL - 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.

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

6. HTTPS Proxy User Name (optional) - The user name to use when connecting to the value supplied in Host Name or IP Address via the value supplied in HTTPS Proxy.

7. HTTPS Proxy Password (optional) - The password to use when connecting to the server using the HTTPS Proxy.
