Dataset Management

Dataset Management lets you review the object types a source collects and control how the source aggregates those objects into SailPoint. Use Dataset Management to view and manage resource attributes, datasets and their resources, enable dataset aggregation schedules, perform manual aggregation, and view aggregation history.

Note

Datasets are also available in SailPoint Agentic Fabric. Contact your Customer Success team and refer to SailPoint Agentic Fabric for more information.

For more information, refer to Managing Datasets and Resources for datasets, resources, owner correlation, and aggregation.

Datasets

A dataset is a named group of one or more related resources that the source aggregates together.

When aggregation runs for a dataset, the source collects all resources in that dataset from the managed system in one aggregation job. Activate or deactivate aggregation at the dataset level, not for individual resources.

Note

Each resource belongs to exactly one dataset for that source. The source defines which resources belong to each dataset. You can enable aggregation and review associated resources, but you cannot create or delete datasets or move resources between them.

Dataset Aggregation

Configure aggregation on the Dataset Aggregations tab for each dataset. Configure each dataset separately. During aggregation, your owner correlation rules are automatically applied to link machine identities to their human owners. For more information, refer to Configuring Dataset Aggregations.

Resources

A resource defines an object type from the managed system. It specifies the kind of object, the attributes the source collects, and how the source identifies and displays each object. Resources form the building blocks of the data model.

In the UI, each resource appears under Dataset Management > Resources with its schema. A resource does not run aggregation by itself. The dataset that owns the resource collects it during aggregation.

For more information, refer to Managing Resources.

Owner Correlation

Configure owner correlation on each resource to link aggregated objects to human owners. If you do not configure owner correlation, or if the mapping produces no match, an owner is not assigned. For more information, refer to Configuring Owner Correlation.

Web Services Datasets

A dataset is a named group of one or more related resources that SailPoint aggregates together.

Note

Web Services is a generic source, so you create your own datasets and resources on the source. Refer to Creating Datasets for more information.

Configure aggregation for each dataset separately. Refer to Configuring Dataset Aggregations for more information.

Web Services Resources

A resource represents a type of object the connector collects from Web Services, such as agents, applications, or credentials. Each resource defines the attributes collected for that object type and how each object appears in SailPoint.

Refer to Creating Resources for more information on creating resources and Configuring Owner Correlation for more information on linking aggregated objects to their owners.

When you create a resource, select one of the following resource types:

  • Agent (std:agent)
  • Application (std:application)
  • Capability (std:capability)
  • Credential (std:credential)
  • Device (std:device)
  • Account (std:account)

After you create the resource, configure the Resource Aggregation under HTTP Operations, then run aggregation.
