AIMS 3

Set up Device Security and Cortex XSOAR to integrate with AIMS 3.
  1. Log in to Device Security and then access the AIMS 3 instance settings in Cortex XSOAR.
    1. Log in to Device Security and select IntegrationsIntegration ManagementManage Integrations.
      Device Security uses Cortex XSOAR to integrate with AIMS 3, and the settings you must configure are in the Cortex XSOAR interface.
    2. Launch Cortex XSOAR.
      The Cortex XSOAR interface opens in a new browser tab or window.
    3. Click Settings in the left navigation menu to go to IntegrationsInstances, and search for AIMS-V3 to locate it among other instances.
  2. Configure the settings for an AIMS 3 integration instance.
    1. Click the active integration instance settings icon, or click Add instance, to open the settings panel.
    2. Enter the following settings and leave the others at their default values:
      Name: Use the default name or enter a new one to help you identify the instance.
      AIMS Server URL: Enter the URL of your AIMS 3 server.
      Auth Token: Enter the API token for AIMS 3.
      Cloud-based Cortex XSOAR Run on Single engine: When using a cloud-based Cortex XSOAR instance and an on-premises AIMS 3 server, choose the Cortex XSOAR engine that you want to communicate with the AIMS 3 server.
    3. When finished, click Test or Test resultsRun test to test the integration instance.
      If the test is successful, a Success message appears. If not, check that the settings were entered correctly, and then test the configuration again.
    4. After the test succeeds, click Save & exit to save your changes and close the settings panel.
  3. Enable the AIMS 3 integration instance.
  4. Create a job for Cortex XSOAR to receive information from AIMS 3.
    You can create multiple jobs if you have multiple integration instances.
    1. Click Jobs in the sidebar, and then click New Job to create a new Cortex XSOAR job.
    2. Configure the following settings in the New Job panel:
      Recurring: Select this if you want to periodically run the job. Clear it if you want to run the job on-demand.
      Optional Every: If you selected Recurring, enter a number and set the interval value (Minutes, Hours, Days, or Weeks) and select the days on which to run the job. If you don't select specific days, then the job will run every day by default. This determines how often Cortex XSOAR queries AIMS 3 for information.
      You can configure Queue Handling to determine what happens if a new job starts while an old job is still running.
      Name: Enter a name for the job.
      Playbook: Select the Import AIMS3 Devices to PANW IoT playbook to import assets and asset information.
      Integration Instance Name: Enter the name of the AIMS 3 integration instance.
  5. Enable the job and run it.
    Check the Job Status for the job you created. If it's Disabled, select its checkbox and then click Enable.
    You can immediately run the job by selecting it and clicking Run now. Otherwise, if you scheduled a recurring job, then the enabled job will run as scheduled.
  6. Return to Device Security and check the status of the AIMS 3 integration.
    An integration instance can be in one of the following four states, which Device Security displays in the Status column on the Integrations page:
    • Active — the integration was configured and enabled and is functioning properly.
      Disabled — either the integration was configured but intentionally disabled or it was never configured and a job that references it is enabled and running.
    • Error — the integration was configured and enabled but is not functioning properly, possibly due to a configuration error or network condition.
    • Inactive — the integration was configured and enabled but no job has run for at least the past 60 minutes.
    When you see that the status of an integration instance is Active, its setup is complete.
