Configure JumpCloud Directory Insights for Arctic Wolf monitoring

You can configure JumpCloud Directory Insights® to send the necessary logs to Arctic Wolf® for security monitoring.

Note: Complete these steps for each organization that you want Arctic Wolf to monitor.

These resources are required:

  • An administrator account with the Administrator with Billing role in the JumpCloud Admin Portal.

Optional: Generate an API key

If you do not already have a JumpCloud API key, generate one.

  1. Sign in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. In the navigation menu, click your profile icon, and then click My API Key.
  3. In the API Key window, in the Expiration Date section, select Custom, and then in the Days field, enter 365.
    Make sure to copy the expiration date.

    You will provide this value to Arctic Wolf later.

  4. Click Generate New API Key.
  5. Copy the API key, and then save it in a safe, encrypted location.

    The API key begins with the prefix jca_.

    You will provide this value to Arctic Wolf later.

Verify Directory Insights status

  1. In the JumpCloud Admin Portal, click Settings > Features .
  2. In the Insights section, make sure that Directory Insights is enabled.
