Required Permissions

The API token must have the following permissions:

  • Read access to device inventory (Device Inventory)
  • Read access to software and applications
  • Read access to users and accounts
  • Read access to network equipment
  • Read access to reports and status
Alternative: file import through DropPoint

The API access described above is the recommended method for this connector. Where it is not available (a segregated network, a version or licence without API, an export you already produce), OverView accepts file exports, to be uploaded to the bucket dedicated to Lansweeper.

Where do the files go?

Bucket : s3://lansweeper/

Example : s3://lansweeper/export.csv

The procedure is described in the OverView DropPoint guide: generating credentials, configuring the client, then sending files from the OverView web interface, the AWS CLI or an SDK. Its examples come pre-filled with this bucket when you follow this link.
