Votes:

0

Hey All,

I'm onto Monitoring a bunch vulnerability Data from an internal Website. I have to sign into the API via https://Website/api/v1/auth/signin which in Postman worked but the Data comes from a different URL: https://Website/api/v1/vulnerabilities/summary/

I've used the Request URL with Post and in the Body i've used the login Data Can I add tinto the Channel Path the new URL and add the Data loation, like: https://Website/api/v1/vulnerabilities/summary/$.data.0.2.vuln_count?

Or am I going somewhere completly wrong?

Hello,

if you have a token based authentication you can pass along this token in the custom headers for this sensor.

The Channel Path inside this sensor applies to a JSON Path inside the retrieved data from the base URL, if you want to retrieve JSON data from a different URL you need an additional Sensor.

Kind regards,
Johannes Beyerlein, Technical Support Team
