Configuration Guide SmartConnector for ArcSight Asset Import
The SmartConnector for ArcSight Asset Import is a tool for configuring the definitions that represent your network assets in ArcSight's network model. This configuration can be done manually on an asset-by-asset basis using the ArcSight ESM Console. However, if you have many assets that you want to model with the same distinctions, this tool lets you do so in a single batch rather than repeating the process for multiple assets.
This tool is not intended to address any asset scalability issues in currently released products (ArcSight
ESM 3.5 and prior ESM versions).
See the section "Device Event Mapping to ArcSight Data Fields" later in this document for the specific events mapped to fields in the ArcSight database.
Product Overview
The SmartConnector for Asset Import lets you define a comma-separated (.csv) file that imports asset modeling details in a batch. You can use this tool to assign asset categories to any of your network assets, as well as to those regulated by Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The tool assigns existing asset categories, and also can be used to create and assign new categories.
If your asset inventory changes regularly, you can set up a process to update and export this list at regular intervals to update the assets in ArcSight ESM.
Depending upon your connector configuration, you can install the SmartConnector for Asset Import on a local asset host or on a dedicated connector server.
SmartConnector™ for ArcSight Asset Import
Install the SmartConnector
Before you install any SmartConnectors, make sure that the ArcSight products with which the
connectors will communicate have already been installed correctly (such as ArcSight ESM or ArcSight Logger). This configuration guide takes you through the installation process with ArcSight Manager (encrypted) as the destination.
For complete product information, read the Administrator's Guide as well as the Installation and
Configuration guide for your ArcSight product before installing a new SmartConnector.  If you are
adding a connector to the Connector Appliance, see the ArcSight Connector Appliance Administrator's Guide for instructions, and start the installation procedure at step 3.
Before installing the SmartConnector, be sure the following are available:
⏹Local access to the machine where the SmartConnector is to be installed
⏹Administrator passwords
Unless specified otherwise at the beginning of this guide, this SmartConnector can be installed on all ArcSight supported platforms; for the complete list, see the SmartConnector Product and Platform Support document, available from the HP SSO and Protect 724 sites.
1Download the SmartConnector executable for your operating system from the HP SSO site.
2Start the SmartConnector Installer by running the executable.
Follow the installation wizard through the following folder selection tasks and installation of the core connector software:

Configuration Guide
4Select Add a Connector and click Next.
5Select ArcSight Asset Import and click Next.
6Enter the required SmartConnector parameters to configure the SmartConnector, then click Next.
Parameter Description
Folder Enter the file path to the folder where the CSV files to be imported are stored (or browse to the directory in which the files to be imported are stored) for the connector to automatically
import the assets into ArcSight ESM.  Verify that the directory specified as the connector
spring framework表达式assigndestination directory is dedicated as a repository for the Asset Import connector only.  Any
files placed in this directory are processed by the connector and removed from the system.
