Managing data exporters
Connector credentials
Before Nexthink can export data to any third-party supported tools, you must create and define new credentials to connect and enable such communication and then apply the credentials when configuring a data exporter. Refer to the Connector credentials documentation for more information.
Nexthink uses a mechanism that regulates the delivery of messages sent to third-party tools in order to prevent them from getting overloaded with data. This means that the delivery of information is not immediate and some delays may occur.
Accessing data exporters
From the main menu in the Nexthink web interface:
Click on Administration > Outbound connectors > Data Exporter to open the administration page.
All data exporters are listed on the Data exporters administration page. The fields shown are:
Active toggle to enable/disable data exporters.
Name of the data exporter.
Type of data exporter.
Scheduling Frequency matching the NQL time period: Hourly, Daily = 1d, Weekly = 7d.
Last updated date for the data exporter.
Last execution indicating success or failure of the data exporter execution. See the section Troubleshooting a data exporter on this page.
