Connect to Reveal(x) 360 from self-managed sensors through the REST API
The ExtraHop REST API enables you to automate connections for a large number of self-managed sensors to Reveal(x) 360 with a script. Self-managed sensors include on-premises Discover appliances or instances deployed on cloud service providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
This guide provides instructions for the REST API Explorer, so you can test the REST operation, and an example Python script that you can modify with your environment variables.
Note: | You cannot connect Trace appliances through the REST API. For information about connecting Trace appliances, see Connect to Reveal(x) 360 from self-managed sensors. |
