Prerequisites to Configure the Cisco Secure Endpoint Cloud Collector

Before you configure the Cisco Secure Endpoint cloud collector, you must obtain the Client ID and the API Key.

Obtain the Client ID and API Key

Cisco Secure Endpoint APIs are authenticated via application keys. You must obtain the API key and client ID to use while configuring the Cisco Secure Endpoint Cloud Collector.

Use the following steps to obtain an Client ID and the API Key.

  1. Log in to Cisco Secure Endpoint console by accessing https://console.amp.cisco.com as an administrator.

  2. Navigate to Administration > API Credentials.

  3. Click New API Credential to create a new API key and client ID.

  4. In the Application Name box, specify a name for the application.

  5. In the Scope area, select the permission Read-only.

  6. Click Create.

  7. The API Key Details section displays third party API client ID and the API key.

The API credentials help other programs retrieve and modify the Cisco Secure Endpoint for Endpoints data. The API credentials appear only once. If you lose the API credentials, you must create new API credentials. Note the values for the third-party API client ID and API key represented by letters and numbers. Use the API key and client ID while configuring the Cisco Secure Endpoint Cloud Collector.
