External Sources
Everything about externally sourced data ingested into your workgroup
About External Data Sources
External data sources can be ingested into the Ardexa Web App so you can relate and investigation relationships to your Ardexa sourced data.
Speak with your account manager who will help you to setup an externally sourced data ingestion.
Ingestion Architecture
Ingestion Types
Ardexa offer the following types of data ingestion pathways in preferential order:
API (preferred)
SFTP
attachments over email (less desirable)
We can also setup for you cloud devices that can run ardexa agents to ingest your data.
Data Structure
We support standard structured messages and files, for example:
JSON
XML
CSV
As a general approach we avoid unstructured sources and documents such as:
PDF
Word
web page/screen scraping.
Origin of Sources
The location or origin of your external data source is mostly unlimited. Generally, it only has to meet the above criteria of the Data Ingestion Architecture.
Management
When your external source ingestion exercise has completed testing the Ardexa team will create an entry in the new administration view available to workgroup owners and accounts with admin permissions: Admin -> Data -> External Sources Tab
This view provides a summary of all your externally sourced data and its relevant attributes.
