Choose Appropriate Execution Scenario
The Add-on runs on any computer in your environment. For example, you can run the add-on on the computer where Auditor is installed or on a remote server. Depending on the execution scenario you choose, you have to define a different set of parameters. See the Amazon Web Services topic for additional information.
Netwrix suggests the following execution scenarios:
Scenario | Example |
---|---|
The add-on runs on the Auditor Server with the current user credentials. | C:\Add-ons\NetwrixAuditor_Add-on_for Amazon_Web_Services.ps1 |
The add-on runs on the Auditor Server with the explicitly specified user credentials. | C:\Add-ons\NetwrixAuditor_Add-on_for Amazon_Web_Services.ps1 -NetwrixAuditorUserName enterprise\NAuser -NetwrixAuditorPassword NetwrixIsCool |
The add-on runs on a remote computer. Data is written to a remote Auditor repository with the current user credentials. | C:\Add-ons\NetwrixAuditor_Add-on_for Amazon_Web_Services.ps1 -NetwrixAuditorHost 172.28.6.15 |
The add-on runs on a remote computer. Data is written to a remote Auditor repository with the explicitly specified user credentials and monitoring plan name. | C:\Add-ons\NetwrixAuditor_Add-on_for Amazon_Web_Services.ps1 -NetwrixAuditorHost 172.28.6.15 -NetwrixAuditorUserName enterprise\NAuser -NetwrixAuditorPassword NetwrixIsCool -NetwrixAuditorPlan Integrations |
For security reasons, Netwrix recommends running the script with current user credentials (skipping user credentials). Create a special user account with permissions to both Auditor data and event log and use it for running the script.
