Synchronization of objects and applications

Use the Configuration > Sync tab to manage synchronization between ObjectFlow and the AlgoSec environment.

This includes viewing the latest object synchronization from ASMS, downloading synchronization logs, and synchronizing applications from AppViz.

Access the Sync tab

Do the following:

1. Click CONFIGURATION. The Settings/Configuration page appears.

2. Select the Sync tab.

View status of latest objects sync from ASMS

Objects are automatically synchronized in real time from ASMS to ObjectFlow. You can view details about the latest sync as well as download a csv file containing sync history.

To download the sync log

Do the following:

1. In the Settings/Configuration page, select the Sync tab.

2. In the Object sync from ASMS area, click Download Sync Log.

   

   The sync log is downloaded.
   The Sync log includes the following columns:

   Sync Start	Date/time when sync started
   Sync End	Date/time when sync finished
   Synced Devices	Number of devices from which objects were synced/skipped
   Synced Objects	Number of objects synced
   Skipped Objects	Number of objects skipped

View status of latest application sync from AppViz

This section explains how application synchronization between AppViz and ObjectFlow works.

When an AppViz license is available, application information is automatically retrieved and kept in sync. Initial synchronization occurs during the first object sync, and subsequent updates are applied automatically based on AppViz events or can be triggered manually when needed.

To trigger a manual application sync between AppViz and ObjectFlow

You can force a synchronization between AppViz and ObjectFlow to retrieve pending application changes that have not yet been synchronized automatically.

Do the following:

1. In the Settings/Configuration page, select the Sync tab.

2. In the Sync Applications from AppViz area, click Sync Now.
