Configuring Context Integrations

About Context Integrations

Context integrations provide enriched asset context to Netography Fusion from third-party products. This is done by reading asset information from the external product (generally via an API) and then adding asset information as context Labels associated with the asset's IP address.

Types of context integrations

  • SaaS - Directly integrated into Netography Fusion - can only be configured and deployed in the Netography Fusion SaaS.
  • NetoFuse - NetoFuse modules can be deployed as a context integration in the Netography Fusion Portal or deployed locally (as a container or software package) in your environment. Local deployments are useful for on-prem integrations or to maintain control of the configuration, connection, and credentials to a third-party data source locally.
  • Cloud Function - AWS, Azure, and GCP also support deploying a cloud function via Terraform as part of the Netography cloud onboarding automation. In this case, context enrichment information is gathered from within your cloud environment, and the function then uses a Fusion API key to make an outbound connection to Fusion to send it to the API. No inbound access to your cloud accounts is used for context enrichment when using a Cloud Function.
