   Parameter	Required
   Server URL	True
   OAuth credential	True
   Stream ID	True
   Channel ID	True
   Fetch interval in seconds	True
   Use system proxy settings	False
   Trust any certificate (not secure)	False

To generate a token for the Token parameter

1. Log in to the Symantec Endpoint Security console.
2. Click Integration > Client Applications.
3. Choose Add Client Application.
4. Choose a name for the application, then click Add. The client application details screen will appear.
5. Click ⋮ and select Client Secret.
6. Click the ellipsis and select Client Secret.
7. Click the copy icon next to OAuth Credentials.

For more information on obtaining OAuth Credentials, refer to this documentation or watch this video.

Note:

• No need to generate the bearer token, the integration uses the provided OAuth Credentials to generate one.
• The test_module test checks only the validity of the OAuth credential parameter and does not validate the Channel ID and Stream ID parameters.
• Fetching events that occurred at a specific time may be delayed due to delays in event ingestion on Symantec’s side.

symantec-ses-reset-integration-context

Reset Integration context. By default, resetting the integration context only resets the next_fetch field in the integration context.

Note:
By default, resetting the integration context only resets the next_fetch field in the integration context,
This means that the next fetch call will be performed without the next parameter, but events will still be filtered, preventing duplicate events from being ingested.

When using the delete_all=true argument, the entire integration_context is deleted. This means that the API call will be performed without the next parameter, and duplicate events may be ingested into the system.

Base Command

symantec-ses-reset-integration-context

Input

Context Output

There is no context output for this command.

Troubleshooting

In case where the integration has been disabled for an extended period, it is recommended to run the command symantec-ses-reset-integration-context without the delete_all argument. This will ensure that the next parameter stored in the integration_context is cleared,
This means that the fetch process will run without the next parameter and retrieve all available events from the stream. However, events will still be filtered based on the last retrieved event timestamp.
