Device Integration: McAfee MVISION

Modified on Thu, 16 Apr at 9:21 PM

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Overview

Trellix (formerly McAfee) MVISION is a cloud-native security management platform that provides endpoint, network, and cloud visibility. Integrating MVISION with ADR (aiSIEM/aiXDR) via API enables secure log ingestion into CCE (Collection and Control Engine) → APE (Analytics and Policy Engine) for centralized visibility, proactive threat detection, and compliance monitoring.


Prerequisites

Before configuring the integration, ensure:

  • Administrative access to the Trellix MVISION Console.

  • Administrative access to the ADR UI.

  • A running CCE server in your ADR deployment.

  • Client ID and Client Secret generated from Trellix MVISION.

  • Network connectivity between CCE → Trellix API endpoints (HTTPS 443).


Generate API Credentials in Trellix MVISION

  1. Log in to the Trellix MVISION Console.
  2. Navigate: Administration → MVISION API → API Clients.
  3. Click New Client.
  4. Provide:
    • Client Name (e.g., Seceon-Integration)
    • Description (optional)
  5. Select the required permissions (Events, Detections, Endpoints, Policies).
  6. Save and copy:
    • Client ID
    • Client Secret

These credentials will be used in ADR.


Configure Trellix MVISION in ADR

  1. Log in to the ADR UI.
  2. Navigate: Administration → Add-On Store.
  3. Search for and select MVISION.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Enter the following details:
FieldValue/Instruction
Device NameFriendly name (e.g., MVISION-Logs)
CCE IPEnter your ADR CCE IP
Access ID / UsernameEnter the Client ID from MVISION
Password / Secret KeyEnter the Client Secret from MVISION
Config (JSON){ } (leave empty JSON if no extra configuration is required)
  1. Click Save to complete integration.


Verification (MSSP Only)

On ADR UI

  1. Navigate: System → Logs and Flows Collection Status.
  2. Confirm that the MVISION device appears under Source Device IP.
  3. Check the System Alert tab for any errors or warnings.

On CCE (CLI)

  1. SSH into the CCE server.
  2. Run:
    otmdoc -s addondevices
    crontab -l
  3. Confirm the MVISION addon script is listed and scheduled.


Notes

  • MVISION logs are typically generated once per day — allow up to 24 hours before events appear.
  • Use only {} in JSON unless additional customization is explicitly required.
  • If no logs appear, validate:
    • Client ID/Secret
    • API permissions
    • CCE network access to Trellix API endpoints
