Configure the Asset View in Tanium

Learn how to setup a custom view in your Tanium environment.

The Asset View functionality in the Tanium connector allows you to retrieve data for any pre-configured custom views from Tanium's REST APIs that you create, based on your specific needs.

Create a custom view​

  1. Log in to your Tanium environment: Tanium server .

  2. In Modules, select Asset and then select Views.

  3. To create a custom view, select Create View.

  4. In the Create View page, do the following:

    1. Enter a Name and Description for your view.

    2. In Select Columns from Asset Tables, select the data that you want to include in your view. It is recommended that you select and add all the columns for Asset, Installed Applications, Logical Disk, Network Adapter, Physical Disk, and Windows Installer.

    3. Optional: Add filters to limit the computers that are included in the view. You can create filters for Asset details, Installed Applications, Logical Disk, Network Adapter, Physical Disk, Windows Installer, or any custom reference attributes that you have added to Asset.

  5. To save your changes, select Submit.

    You can now access the created view from the Views page.

  6. To test your custom view, hover over and select the Test button against your view.

Capture the Asset View Id​

To get the Asset view ID to use when configuring the Tanium connector in SIM:

  2. Hover over and select the Edit button against your view.

  3. In the View page that opens, copy and save the number that you see at the end of the page URL.

    This is used as the Asset View Id when configuring the connector in SIM.
