Insight connector

This connector can be run in the cloud or using an on-premises connector server.

The Insight connector gathers data about software and hardware invoices from Insight.

For information about what data is imported and how it is mapped, see Mapping (below).

Options

An Insight connector has the following options:

  • Connector name: A name for the connector.
  • Connector server name: The name of the connector server that this connector is associated with. When running the connector in the cloud, this server needs to be the Cloud option in the list.

    Each connector can only be associated with one connector server. If you added this connector to a specific connector server (on the Connectors > Connector Servers page), this field will be populated for you. Otherwise, you can select the server from the list.
  • Client ID, Client key, and Client secret: The credentials to access Insight's API. Contact Insight to obtain the appropriate credentials.
  • Invoice status: The connector only imports invoices with the associated status or statuses.
  • Insight URL: An additional URL domain that allows Neurons access to an Insight development instance.
  • Date filter: A filter that enables the connector to collect data from the date entered to the present date. Use this format: yyyy-mm-dd.
  • Repeats: How often the connector should gather data.
  • Start time: The time of day the connector should start running. To minimize the impact on your network and applications, we recommend that connectors generally run at night or on weekends.
  • Active: Whether the connector is active or not. While the connector is active, it runs according to the schedule you create. If you clear the check box, the connector is inactive and will not gather data until the check box is enabled again and the connector is saved.

For details on configuring or using connectors, see Setting up connectors.
