Abstract

Cortex XSIAM enables you to view all your cloud assets from the various cloud assets categories on the All Cloud Assets page.

The All Cloud Assets page enables you to view all your cloud assets from the various cloud assets categories that you configured for collection from Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services using the Cloud Inventory data collector.

To view the All Cloud Assets page, select AssetsCloud InventoryAll Cloud Assets.

By default, the All Cloud Assets page displays all cloud assets according to the most recent time that the data was updated. To search for specific assets, use the filters above the results table to narrow the results. You can export the tables and respective asset views to a tab-separated values (TSV) file. From the All Cloud Assets page, you can also manage the asset's output using the right-click pivot menu. For more information, see Manage Your Cloud Inventory Assets.

The All Cloud Assets table is comprised of a number of common fields that are available when viewing any of the Specific Cloud Assets pages. The Type and Subtype fields are only available in the All Cloud Assets table as these fields determine the Specific Cloud Assets categories, and can be used to filter the different types of assets from the entire list of assets.

When any row in the table is selected, a side panel on the right with greater details is displayed, where you can view additional data divided by sections, such as Asset Metadata and Asset Editors. The Asset Editors section also provides a link to open a predefined query in XQL Search on the cloud_audit_log dataset to view the edit operations by the identity selected for this asset in the last seven days.

The following table describes the fields available when viewing All Cloud Assets.

Note

Certain fields are exposed and hidden by default. An asterisk (*) is beside every field that is exposed by default.
