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 administrator account

The System and Access Administration privilege is granted to the email address that you provided during sign up.

  1. Open your Welcome to ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 email.
  2. Click the URL link to your Reveal(x) 360 environment.
  3. At the login page, enter your email address and temporary password included in the email.
  4. Click Sign In.
  5. On the Change Password screen, enter a new password in both password fields and then click Send.
  6. From the Multi-Factor Authentication Setup page, scan the QR code or manually enter the code that appears into your authenticator app.
  7. Enter the code provided by your authentication app into the Code field and then click Complete Setup.
  8. On the Success page, click Continue.

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
  • bigquerystorage.googleapis.com
  • oauth2.googleapis.com
  • www.googleapis.com
  • www.mtls.googleapis.com
  • iamcredentials.googleapis.com

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

In addition to configuring access to these domains, you must also configure the global proxy server settings.

Connect sensors

Add sensors to Reveal(x) 360 to monitor your network traffic.

ExtraHop-managed Reveal(x) sensors for AWS can be selected and deployed from within the Reveal(x) 360 console.

Self-managed sensors and packetstores can also be connected from within the Reveal(x) 360 console. Note that if you have an existing console, you must disconnect the console before connecting your self-managed sensors to Reveal(x) 360.

Multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is a security enhancement that requires you to provide two forms of credentials when you log in to your account. In addition to your ExtraHop credentials, you must supply credentials from a 3rd-party authenticator app.

Select and download an authentication application to your device and generate secure, six-digit codes when you log in to your Reveal(x) 360 system.

There are many authenticator apps to select from. The following steps are a general guideline, but you should also review the help documentation for the app you select.

  1. Choose a device, such as a computer or mobile device (phone or tablet), on which you can install apps.
  2. Download and install an authentication app on the device. Here are some popular options:
    • Android and iOS: Google Authenticator, Authy
    • Windows and macOS: 1Password, OTP Manager
    • Chrome extensions: Authenticator
  3. Open a new browser and sign in to your ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 system.
  4. Follow the instructions to scan or enter the code that appears on the ExtraHop Multi-Factor Authentication setup screen, and then enter the credentials provided by your authenticator app.

Upgrade connected sensors in Reveal(x) 360

Administrators can upgrade sensors that are connected to Reveal(x) 360.

Before you begin

  • Your user account must have privileges on Reveal(x) 360 for System and Access Administration or System Administration.
Here are some considerations about upgrading sensors:

  2. Click the System Settings icon and then click Sensors.
    Sensors that are eligible for upgrade display an up arrow in the Sensor Version field.
  3. Select the checkbox next to each sensor that you want to upgrade.
  4. In the Sensor Details pane, select the firmware version from the Available Firmware drop-down list.

    The drop-down list only displays versions that are compatible with the selected sensors.

    Only the selected sensors that have a firmware upgrade available appear in the Sensor Details pane.

  5. Click Install Firmware.

    When the upgrade completes, the Sensor Version field is updated with the new firmware version.
