Creating an extended integration for Sumo Logic users

Let Oomnitza be your single source of truth!

You'll get visibility of your users as data from Sumo Logic is automatically transformed into consumable information and actionable insights.

Connect Oomnitza and Sumo Logic in minutes

Get the information and insights that you need to reduce costs and the time that you spend on administration tasks such as:

• Configurable dashboards and list views of key user information
• Configurable reports to share information about your users with your colleagues and management
• Configurable workflows that you can easily create such as:
  • Workflows for deactivating users
  • Workflows for deleting users

Before you start

To create the integration with Oomnitza, you need to have the following details to hand:

1. A Sumo Logic access ID and key
2. The name of your deployment prod

Generating an access ID and key

We recommend that you create a new user for the integration with Oomnitza rather than using an existing user account.

 Create an access key

Access ID and key for Sumo Logic

Important
When you generate an access ID and key in Sumo Logic, make sure you copy the access key. Once the access ID and key are generated, the value for the key will no longer be available. 

When you add your access ID and key that you generated for Sumo Logic to Oomnitza, enter your access ID as the username and the access key as the password.

Getting your deployment prod

The deployment pod is assigned to you by Sumo Logic based on your location and the date that your account was created. To find out the name of your deployment pod, check your Sumo Logic URL. Let's say your URL is https://service. us1 .sumologic.com/ui/#/search... The deployment pod for your URL is us1 . 

Add deployment codes to global settings

To save time entering deployment information when you integrate Sumo Logic with Oomnitza, you can add the deployment code as a global setting.

1. In Oomnitza, click Configuration >General > Global Settings.
2. Click Add new variable (+). 
3. Enter SumoLogic.Deployment as the variable name.
4. Enter the value such as

   au, eu, us1, or us2.

Integration Overview

Before you start

More information is provided about the following fields to help you complete the integration:

Integration preferences: By default, the option Create & Update is selected, which allows for editing existing user records and adding new ones. If your goal is only to edit existing user records, choose Update Only. On the other hand, if you only want to add new records, select Create Only.

User selection: Select User only to create users in the People tab.  Select User plus SaaS User to also create SaaS users in the Software > SaaS menu. Once your users are created in the SaaS menu, you can create SaaS user workflows to validate the existence of a given user in a SaaS System and to pull role information from your SaaS System. For steps see Creating SaaS user workflows.

When you select User plus SaaS User and you have multiple instances of the same SaaS, you can choose your SaaS instance from the dropdown. If you have a single instance of the SaaS, your instance is already detected by the system.

Create workflows

Using the Saas User Role presets

Complete the following steps to configure the SaaS User Role block for Sumo Logic. Configuration of this SaaS User Role block will allow you to capture the Sumo Logic user role and last login date in Oomnitza.

Prerequisites

Before you create a SaaS user workflow, you should have already run your extended user integration and selected User plus SaaS User to populate the software entry in the Software > SaaS menu.

To create a Saas User workflow using the Sumo Logic User Role preset, complete the following steps:

1. Click Configuration > Workflows > Saas Users from the menu.
2. Click Add (+). The Begin and End blocks are automatically added to the sandbox.
3. Enter the name and a description of the workflow. 
4. Edit the Begin block by adding the rules that will trigger the workflow. For further information see SaaS User Roles.
5. Click the Blocks tab, and drag and drop the SaaS User Role retrieval block onto the canvas.
6. Click the Edit icon.
7. Enter Sumo Logic in the search field and choose the Sumo Logic User Role block.
8. Click the right arrow >.
9. Enter your Credentials.
10. Your deployment information should be derived from the global variable you created in Add deployment codes to global settings or can be entered manually.
11. Select the Deactivate User checkbox to deactivate the SaaS user in SaaS > Sumo Logic > Users if they are not found in your Sumo Logic instance.
12. Click SAVE.
13. Connect the blocks.
14. Save, validate, and activate your workflow.

To view active Sumo Logic users in the SaaS Users UI, complete the following steps:

1. Click Software from the menu.
2. Select the Saas tab, and select your software entry for Sumo Logic.
3. Click Users in the side pane. 
4. The Role and Last activity column will be populated with user information to confirm that this user has been found in your Sumo Logic SaaS.

Next steps

Create an offboarding workflow using an API block. Select the following presets:

• Sumo Logic Deactivate User preset temporarily prevents a user from logging into the Sumo Logic service, see Sumo Logic API Docs: Update a user.
• Sumo Logic Delete User preset permanently removes the user. To use this preset, you need to go to Advanced Mode > Params and input the following information:
  • Key: transferTo
  • Value: Identifier of the user who will receive the content of the deleted user.
    
  • Key:deleteContent
  • Value: Set to true to permanently delete all the user's content. This content cannot be recovered. For further information, see Sumo Logic API Docs: Delete a user.

Tip

To learn more about the Sumo Logic API utilized in your particular deployment location, please refer to the Documentation table within the Sumo Logic API Docs. 

Important
When creating the offboarding workflow, ensure that the Begin block criteria accurately identifies inactive users. For example, for SaaS user workflows you can set the To be Deleted in SaaS flag to Yes, or for People workflows, you can set the Offboarding Date to Current date.
