  • Add an application

  • Remove an application

  • See details of an application

Managing Connected Cloud Applications

  1. Search for a specific application instance by display name.

  2. Filter by cloud application.

  3. Connectivity Status indicator and status legend:

    • Pending Initial Connection: Temporary status after application has been added, but is not yet connected. (May take anywhere from a few seconds up to 4 hours to finalize connection)

    • Connected: Connected and receiving data

    • Connection Error: Application was revoked or service account disabled

    • Disabled: License expired (not a connectivity issue)

  4. Click the arrow to view app details.

  5. Click the ellipsis to remove the application.

Adding a Connected Cloud Application

With the exception of AWS and Azure, a cloud application can be installed only once. AWS and Azure, however, do support multiple instances.

  1. Click Add Application.

  2. Click Select Application to select the application to add.

    In order to add certain applications, you may need to open a support ticket.

  3. Give the application a display name.

  4. Click the link to refer to the relevant onboarding guide and follow the onboarding directions.

  5. Configuration varies, depending on the selected application.

  6. Click Connect.

    The Connectivity Status of the application will change from Pending Initial Connection to Connected when the connection is established. As noted above this can take anywhere from a few seconds to 4 hours.
