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.
Go to Dataset Management > Datasets on your Web Services source to create and manage datasets. Select Create Dataset to add a dataset, or select an existing dataset to review its associated resources and configure aggregation.
Refer to Creating Datasets for more information on creating datasets.
Note
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 Managing Resources for more information.
Managing Resources
- Go to Dataset Management > Resources on your Web Services source to create and manage resources.
- Select Create Resource to add a resource, or select an existing resource to review its details.
-
When creating a resource, select one of the following resource types:
- Agent
- Application
- Capability
- Credential
- Device
- Account
-
After you create the resource, configure the Resource Aggregation under HTTP Operations, then run aggregation.
Note
Refer to Creating Resources for detailed instructions on creating resources.
