Elasticsearch proof types and permissions

Note: Hyperproof connects to many third-party systems that frequently change, including the system interface. Contact your System Administrator or the third-party provider for assistance in meeting the requirements to integrate with Hyperproof and collect the proof you need.

Hyperproof supports collecting proof from Elasticsearch. When you create a Hypersync between Hyperproof and Elasticsearch, you can automatically collect the following proof types:

Elasticsearch proof types and fields

Yes

This Hypersync supports importing a user list for an access review. See Importing a list of application users with a Hypersync for more information.


Requirements

To connect to Elasticsearch and collect proof, your Elasticsearch configuration must meet the following requirements:

  • An Elasticsearch administrator must create an API key for Hyperproof to use. This is done under Management > Security > API keys > Create API key. Ensure that the key has at least user list read access.


Connection configuration

Authentication type: Custom

Custom authentication parameters: Base URL, API Key

Note: Service accounts are recommended for integrations between Hyperproof and other applications. Service accounts are easier for your IT admin to maintain and ensure that your integrations will continue running when individuals change roles or leave the company.

When you create an Elasticsearch Hypersync for the first time, you must provide the following information:

  • Base URL - this is the URL that your organization uses to access Elasticsearch. If you are using a cloud service like Elastic Cloud, the base URL is provided by the service and looks something like: https://your-cluster-id.region.provider.elastic-cloud.com

  • API Key - enter the API Key that Hyperproof should use to access Elasticsearch.

Note: You only need to connect Hyperproof to the app once, and then you can create as many Hypersyncs as you need.

Additionally, you can create multiple Hypersyncs for a single control or label.
