Before you start​

Huntbase signs in to Broadcom CarbonBlack Cloud with API Key. Create the credential in Broadcom CarbonBlack Cloud first, then keep it to hand for the Connect step.

  1. In the Carbon Black Cloud console, go to Settings › API Access › Access Levels and click Add Access Level.
  2. Grant the org.search.events permission with Create, Read and Delete only, then save the access level.
  3. Go to Settings › API Access › API Keys, click Add API Key, choose the Custom access level type and select the access level you just created.
  4. Save, then copy the API Secret Key and API ID. The secret can't be retrieved later.
  5. Copy your Org Key from Settings › General, or from Settings › API Access if Carbon Black Cloud manages your identities.

Permissions:

  • org.search.events: Create, Read, Delete (process search)

For the vendor's own instructions, see Carbon Black Cloud API authentication documentation.

tip

Use a dedicated, read-only credential for Huntbase where the product allows it. Huntbase only needs to read.
