Asset and Identity dashboards

The Identity domain dashboards provide information about the assets and identities defined in Splunk Enterprise Security. For more information about the use of Asset and Identity records, see the section on "Identity management" in this manual.

Asset Center dashboard

Use the Asset Center dashboard to review and search for objects in the asset data added to Enterprise Security. The asset data represents a list of hosts, IP addresses, and subnets within the organization, along with information about each asset. The asset list correlates asset properties to indexed events, providing context such as asset location and the priority level of an asset.

Dashboard filters

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

Asset	A known or unknown asset	Text field. Empty by default. Wildcard strings with an asterisk (*)
Priority	Filter by the Priority field in the Asset table	Drop-down by Priority.

Data sources

The reports in the Asset Center dashboard reference fields in the Asset and Identities data model. Relevant data sources include lists of assets and identities collected and loaded as lookups, scripted inputs, or search-extracted data.

Identity Center dashboard

Use the Identity Center dashboard to review and search for objects in the identity data added to Enterprise Security. Identity data represents a list of account names, legal names, nicknames, and alternate names, along with other associated information about each identity. The identity data is used to correlate user information to indexed events, providing additional context.

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.
