Schedule a report about Active Directory

Before you can upload the Active Directory Bundle to your ExtraHop system, you must retrieve the bundle from the ExtraHop Solution Bundle Index.

1. Go to the Active Directory bundle page.
2. If you have not already logged in to the ExtraHop website, click Login in the right pane and then specify a valid username and password.
3. In the How to Obtain this Bundle section, click the link to create a service request to retrieve the bundle.

1. Log in to the console through https://<extrahop-hostname-or-IP-address>.
2. Click the System Settings icon in the upper right corner.
3. Click Bundles.
4. On the Bundles page, click Upload Bundle.
5. Click Choose File, and then select the Active Directory .json file that you downloaded in the previous section.
6. In the Install Options section, select the following checkboxes:
   1. Select the site where you want to install the bundle.
   2. Select the Apply 9 included assignments checkbox.
      This option assigns the bundle to the metric sources included with the bundle. In most cases, it is best to apply the default assignments.
   3. Select the Overwrite existing content checkbox.
      This option overwrites any objects that have the same name as objects in the bundle. If you have existing system objects with the same name that you want to preserve, you must rename those objects to avoid overwriting them with the objects in the bundle.
