How Okta Data is Collected

Okta context data is provided to Context Management through a cloud-based service. Before you can access data from this service, you will need to create an Okta Context collector in Exabeam Cloud Collectors. When you have onboarded this Okta cloud collector, data will flow as follows:

  • Your Okta Context Cloud Collector pulls user data from the Okta application.

  • The data is transformed to conform to the Exabeam common user information model.

  • The data is pushed to Context Management where it is stored in user context tables.

Okta data is fetched by the cloud collector automatically every 24 hours. However, a Run Now feature in the cloud collector lets you initiate an on-demand update at any time. Whenever data is fetched, either automatically or on demand, the updated user data is made available in your Context Management tables.
