EMS

The EMS (ManageEngine Endpoint Central) connector allows you to import endpoints inventory via CSV export. This is a file-based import connector, not an API integration.

Objective

The EMS connector allows you to import the following information:

• Endpoints inventory
• Applied security policies
• Security agent status

Prerequisites

• Access to ManageEngine Endpoint Central with export rights
• Active EMS platform

Important Note

This connector works via CSV file export. Although ManageEngine Endpoint Central offers a REST API, the OverSOC connector currently uses CSV-based import. You must export inventory reports from the Endpoint Central console as CSV files and import them into OverSOC.

Procedure

Export Inventory Report from EMS

1. Log in to the ManageEngine Endpoint Central console with administrator rights.
2. Go to Inventory tab > Inventory Reports.
3. Select the inventory report you need (e.g., "Hardware Inventory", "Software Inventory", "Endpoint Status").
4. Click Export and choose the CSV format.
5. Download the CSV file to your local machine.

Import into OverSOC

1. In OverSOC, go to Data Sources Settings > Sources.
2. Select EMS and click Configure.
3. Choose the CSV Import mode.
4. Upload your exported CSV file.
5. Click Save Configuration.

Synchronization frequency

Since EMS uses file-based import, synchronization must be done manually:

• Export CSV regularly from Endpoint Central console
• Re-import updated CSV files into OverSOC as needed
• Consider automating exports via command-line tools or scripts for regular updates
