Overview

This Knowledge Base Article (KBA) explains the prerequisites, required permissions, and configuration steps to integrate Armis Centrix with the ADR platform.

The integration uses API key–based authentication, where an API key is generated from the Armis Central Manager and configured in ADR for data collection and monitoring.

Pre-requisites

Before configuring the integration, ensure the following:

• Active Armis Centrix deployment

• Access to Armis Central Manager with Administrator privileges

• Ability to generate API keys

• Network connectivity from ADR (CCE) to the Armis Centrix API endpoint (https://ip:port)

Required Credentials

The following details must be collected from the customer:

• API Key

• Armis Central Manager Host (IP: Port)

Example:
https://10.205.4.51:8080

Required User Roles (Armis Centrix)

The API key must be generated by a user with Administrator privileges in Armis Central Manager to ensure sufficient access for data collection.

Steps to Generate API Key (Armis Centrix)

Follow the steps below to generate an API key from Armis Central Manager:

1. Log in to the Armis Central Manager using an administrator account.

2. Navigate to:
   Settings → Advanced → API Keys

3. Click Create New API Key to generate a new key.

4. Click Copy to copy the generated API key.

5. Save the API key in a secure location for future use.

IMPORTANT

Treat the API key like a password.
Do not share it publicly or store it in unsecured locations.

ADR Configuration Steps

Once the API key is generated, configure Armis Centrix in the ADR UI as follows:

1. Navigate to:
   Administration → Add On Device

2. Select Armis Centrix from the device list.

3. Fill in the required fields as shown below:

Field Mapping

Example Config

{"host": "https://10.205.4.51:8080"}

4. Click Save to complete the integration.

Verification (MSSP Only)

Validation & Troubleshooting

• Ensure the host IP and port are reachable from the ADR CCE.

• Verify that the API key was generated using an administrator account.

• If logs are not ingesting:

  • Regenerate the API key

  • Update the key in ADR

  • Revalidate network connectivity and API endpoint access

Notes

• Rotate API keys periodically as per security best practices.

• Do not share API keys over unsecured channels.

• Revoke unused or compromised API keys immediately from Armis Central Manager.

Conclusion

Following the above steps ensures a successful and stable integration between Armis Centrix and ADR, enabling continuous visibility into device posture and security events.
