# Configure using SGC Central

# Configure Service Graph Connector for Tanium Endpoints using SGC Central {#ariaid-title1}

Use the playbook in SGC Central to set up the Service Graph Connector for Tanium Endpoints and pull Tanium data into your CMDB.

## Before you begin

Important:  
The Service Graph Connector for Tanium Endpoints populates the Computer class with user-facing endpoints, and doesn't import data from the Server child class. Use this connector if you don't require Server data. If you require Server data, use the Service Graph Connector for Tanium.

Install Service Graph Connector for Tanium Endpoints from the ServiceNow Store. For ServiceNow Store installation steps, see [Install a ServiceNow Store application](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=installing-applications-in-application-manager&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).  
Role required: The following table shows the roles required for each stage of the playbook.{#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__table_zcy_w5p_4hc__entry__2}

| Stage | Role |
|-|-|
| Prerequisites | admin |
| Setup | SGC-Admin (sn_cmdb_int_util.sgc_admin) or admin |
[Table 1. Role required for each playbook stage]

{#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__table_zcy_w5p_4hc}  
Note:  
The admin user role is required to run background scripts and to provide access to global tables to the SGC-Admin user. For information about the user roles for Service Graph Connectors, see [Service Graph Connector user roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/llR5whccV6~8Oi~Q_e8~xQ#cmdb-sgc-intro__section_ett_spp_4hc).

## About this task

The playbook experience for onboarding connectors is activated with SGC Central in the CMDB Workspace. To configure the SGC Central application, see [Configuring SGC Central](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/7dDf5rxNMnkcccCA02GxmQ "Set up the SGC Central application for onboarding and maintaining Service Graph Connectors and monitoring the errors related to connections added using Service Graph Connectors.") and for more information on how to interact with a playbook, see [Interact with Playbook](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=playbook-ui&version=australia&pubname=australia-build-workflows&ft:locale=en-US).

## Procedure

1. Use one of the following methods to open SGC Central:
   * Navigate to WorkspacesService Graph Workspace, and from the left navigation panel, select the Ingestion icon ![]() to open the SGC Central view.
   * Navigate to WorkspacesCMDB WorkspaceSGC Central.
   {#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__choices_bd1_nrz_k3c}
2. On the Overview page, select Create connection.
3. On the Create connection window, select the Tanium Endpoints connector type, and then select Create connection.
4. Complete the initial prerequisites when setting up a connection for the first time.  
   Note:  
   This step is required only during the first-time setup. See [Perform initial setup tasks when creating a connection in SGC Central](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/0vWb7VG8kY9kzX25jOf72Q "Complete the prerequisites for setting up a connection for the first time using a Service Graph Connector within the SGC Central view of the Service Graph Workspace or CMDB Workspace.").
5. Enter connection details and test the connection for importing Tanium data.
   1. In the Setup stage, select Create and test connection.
   2. On the form, fill in the fields.  
      {#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__table_br3_4cc_mjc__entry__2}

      | Field | Description |
      |:-|:-|
      | Connection name | Name to identify the Service Graph connection record for Tanium Endpoints. |
      | Host name | Base URL or IP address of the Tanium server. |
      | Token | Authentication token for the Tanium API that grants access to the Tanium data (see [Create an API token](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LR0rlggAc7pc5BKS~Msesg "Create an API token to be used by the Service Graph Connector for Tanium Endpoints.")). |
      | Use MID Server | Option to use a MID Server. Note: Use of a MID Server is optional. |
      | MID selection | Name of the MID Server used by the connector. This field appears only when the Use MID Server check box is selected. |
      [Table 2. Configure and test connection form]

      {#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__table_br3_4cc_mjc}
   3. Select Create and test connection.
   4. After the test completes, select Continue.
6. **Optional:** Configure additional sensors.  
   You can configure additional sensors from the list of available sensors in the SG-Tanium-Endpoints Sensors table. To skip this step, select Skip.

   For information about Tanium sensors, see [What is a sensor?](https://help.tanium.com/bundle/ug_console_cloud/page/platform_user/interact_questions.html#What_is_a_Sensor), [Managing sensors for collecting endpoint data](https://help.tanium.com/bundle/ug_console_cloud/page/platform_user/authoring_sensors.html), and [Example: Multi-column sensors](https://help.tanium.com/bundle/ug_console_cloud/page/platform_user/authoring_example_multicolumn_sensor.html).
   1. In the Setup stage, select Configure additional sensors.
   2. Select Fetch sensors to populate the SG-Tanium-Endpoints Sensors table with the list of available additional sensors.
   3. Set the Ingest field to `true` for the sensors from which data is to be imported.
   4. Specify the data format in the Type field.  
      * Single line: For sensors that return one record per device---a simple set of attribute-value pairs, with no nested objects or lists.  
        Example:

            JSON
            {"ip_address": "192.168.1.100"}

      * Multiline: For sensors that return multiple records per device---each record contains attribute-value pairs, which are returned as an array of objects.  
        Example:

            JSON
            {
              "AssetNetworkAdaptor":[
                  {"name": "eth0", "IPv4Address": "192.168.1.100"},
                  {"name": "eth1", "IPv4Address": "10.0.0.50"}
                ]
             }

      {#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__ul_e54_12c_mjc}  
      Note:  
      The normalized sensor name (in the SG-Tanium-Endpoints Sensors table) is used to look up the sensor's data in the endpoint JSON payload. This name is derived from the sensor name by removing whitespaces and replacing special characters with underscores. Use this value when configuring Robust Transform Engine (RTE) mappings or for any downstream lookup that references the sensor by its JSON key.
   5. Select Mark as complete.
   {#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__step_ubh_vfn_njc}
{#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__step_ubh_vfn_njc}
7. Configure the import schedule.
   1. In the Setup stage, select Configure import schedule.
   2. Select the import schedule for your connection, set it to Active, and then fill in the run schedule details.
   3. **Optional:** If you configured additional sensors in step [6](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NRCF2glYR3DD0y9t0xwQPA#sgcc-configure-tanium-endpoints__step_ubh_vfn_njc), run the scheduled data import to view the sensor details in the import set table and complete the RTE mapping.
   4. Select Save, and then select Continue.
8. Select Confirm connection creation to verify the connection.

## What to do next

Select View all connections to review the connection details.

You can manage connections from the SGC Central view of the CMDB Workspace. For more information, see [Managing connections added for Service Graph Connectors in SGC Central](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/KVfgB9KZk6vuho37K__N_Q "You can create and update connections added for Service Graph Connectors within the SGC Central view of the Service Graph Workspace or CMDB Workspace to ingest data into Configuration Management Database (CMDB) from third-party sources.").
