Reveal(x) 360 Setup and Administration Guide

After you receive your initial email from ExtraHop Networks, there are a few procedures you must complete before you can start analyzing your traffic. This guide provides procedures for basic setup and administration of the Reveal(x) 360 system.

Activate your Okta administrator account

The Okta administrator role is granted to the email address provided during sign up.

Important:You cannot change the user who is granted the Okta administration privilege (OktaAdmin) or assign that privilege to additional users. If you want to grant Okta administration privileges to multiple users, contact ExtraHop support.
  1. Open your Welcome to ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 email.
  2. Click Activate Now.
    The user setup page appears.
  3. Type your desired password in the password fields.
  4. Select a forgotten password question from the drop-down list and then type your answer.
  5. Select a security image.
  6. Click Create My Account.
    You are redirected to the Okta User Home page and can begin adding users.
Note:The ExtraHop Okta implementation includes a subset of Okta features. Some features, such as removing users, are not available.

Configure your firewall rules

If your ExtraHop system is deployed in an environment with a firewall, you must open access to ExtraHop Cloud Services. For Reveal(x) 360 systems that are connected to self-managed sensors, you must also open access to the ExtraHop Cloud Recordstore.

Open access to Cloud Services

For access to ExtraHop Cloud Services, your sensors must be able to resolve DNS queries for *.extrahop.com and access TCP 443 (HTTPS) from the IP address that corresponds to your sensor license:

  • 35.161.154.247 (Portland, U.S.A.)
  • 54.66.242.25 (Sydney, Australia)
  • 52.59.110.168 (Frankfurt, Germany)

Open access to Cloud Recordstore

For access to the ExtraHop Cloud Recordstore, your sensors must be able to access outbound TCP 443 (HTTPS) to these fully-qualified domain names: bigquery.googleapis.com and oauth2.googleapis.com.

You can also review the public guidance from Google about computing possible IP address ranges for googleapis.com.

Manage Users in ExtraHop Okta

Before users can log in to Reveal(x) 360, the Okta administrator must create users and assign them to groups that determine their privileges.

You cannot remove a user, but you can deactivate a user to remove their ability to access the Reveal(x) system.

Add a user

  1. Log in to Okta through https://extrahop-cloud.okta.com with the Okta administrator account credentials.
  2. At the top of the user home page, click Admin.
  3. From the Directory drop-down menu, select People.
  4. Click Add Person and complete all fields. The Secondary email field is optional.
  5. In the Groups field, start by typing your customer-specific domain name and select one of the following groups. A user can only be a member of one group.
    Note:Each group is preceded by your customer-specific domain name and customer ID, similar to the following example: example_company-a0O1E00001Lfn4LUAR-FullReadOnly-NoPackets. For more information about privileges, see User privileges.
