Manage Engine Patch Manager Plus

Release 1.0

About This Document

This guide details the steps necessary to connect Patch Manager Plus appliances to the Epiphany Intelligence Platform.  The Epiphany Intelligence Platform leverages data from patch management appliances to provide greater visibility into the organization’s applications, hosts, and potential vulnerabilities. 

Overview

Patch Manager Plus instances allow API access by virtue of an API key, which can be created in the Management Console by an admin. The permissions granted to the API key will be limited to those assigned to the delegated user’s role.

The Epiphany Intelligence Platform requires read-only access to the Patch Manager Plus API, which is one of the default roles within the system. 

There are two options to this end; either is acceptable: 

• Option 1 - new user: Create a new user designated for use by Epiphany, and generate an API key.

• Option 2 - existing user: Leverage an existing user and follow the steps to generate an API key.

Version Compatibility

• Epiphany Collector: Version 1.0 and later.

• Patch Manager Plus: Build 10*

Prerequisites

• Access to the Patch Manager Plus management console (web UI).

• Ability to create a user, or access to an existing user with the role of Guest (read-only).

What is Needed for Integration

• The Client ID.

• The Client Secret.

• The API Key (refresh token).
