Splunk® App for PCI Compliance

User Manual

Identity Center

Use the Identity Center dashboard to review and search for objects in the identity data added to Splunk. This table drives the correlation between user identity data and event data captured from the PCI resources sending data to Splunk. Identity data represents a list of account names, legal names, nicknames, and alternate names, along with other associated information about each identity.

Filtering Identities in Identity Center

The filter for the Identity Center dashboard uses a key=value pair search field. To filter identities, enter a key=value pair instead of a name or text string.

Some sample key=value pairs are email=*acmetech.com or nick=a_nickname.

Use the available dashboard filters to refine the results displayed on the dashboard panels.

Username A known or unknown user Text field. Empty by default. Wildcard strings with an asterisk (*)
