Prerequisites to Configure the Netskope Events Cloud Collector

Complete the following prerequisites to configure the Netskope Events Cloud Collector:

  • Obtain the API Base URL for Netskope.

    Obtain the API Base URL of Netskope by accessing the Netskope console. For example: https://<tenant-name>.goskope.com. The API base URL helps in endpoint identification, routing of API calls, authentication and security, and configuration of applications that communicate with the Netskope APIs. For more information see the Netskope documentation.

  • Create a service account and generate a token with required permissions.

    Netskope supports RBAC V3 to ensure consistent security across both WebUI and REST API. Using role-based Service Accounts for API access instead of old V2 tokens ensures enhanced security and elimination of redundant roles.

    To create a new service account, navigate to Settings > Administration > Administrators & Roles page > Administrators > Service Account on the Netskope console.

    While creating a new service account, generate a new token. For more information, see Create a New Service Account in the Netskope documentation.

    Note

    • Ensure that you copy and securely save the API token immediately after creation because the token is displayed only once.

    • Ensure to create and configure roles before adding administrators. To create a new role, navigate to Settings > Administration > Administrators & Roles page > Roles. You can add filters and scope to set the required permissions. For more information, see Roles RBAC V3 in the Netskope documentation.
