Cobra to wInsight Data Export

Use the wInsight wizard to export Cobra data directly into the wInsight database each month.

The wInsight wizard steps you through the process of configuring the export, including how Cobra data is rolled up, what information is exported, and how the Cobra database communicates with the wInsight database.

Once a configuration is saved, you can use the API to automate integration with wInsight.

Cobra uses the specified username and password when connecting to the wInsight database. If the user name and password information is not valid, the wInsight database rejects the login attempt and the XML file transfer fails. If the login attempt fails, Cobra still creates the XML file so you can manually import it. Alternatively, you can fix the login credentials and export the data directly.

wInsight O/S authentication uses Windows user credentials to log onto wInsight using wInsight's standard Windows authentication mechanism, regardless of where wInsight is deployed. If Cobra is not using Windows authentication, user could be logged onto Cobra, but wInsight would log on the user using the Windows user credentials from the Citrix session.
