Rapid7 Insight IDR
Rapid7 Insight IDR
This alert source integration is in beta. It is not visible in the Dropzone UI until it has been explicitly enabled for your tenant. Contact your Dropzone AI Support Representative to request enablement.
<<<<<<< Updated upstream The Dropzone AI Platform integrates with Rapid7 Insight IDR, a cloud-native SIEM and XDR solution. Dropzone can poll InsightIDR investigations as alert sources, enrich them with associated alerts and evidence (Attacker Behavior Analytics and User Behavior Analytics), and run AI-driven investigations.
Obtain credentials
Rapid7 Insight IDR uses the Insight platform API for authentication. You need:
API Key – An Insight platform (organization) API key with access to Rapid7 Insight IDR
Region – The data storage region for your tenant (e.g.
us,us2,eu,ca,ap,au). See Identify your data region below =======
Create an API Key
Rapid7 InsightIDR requires an API key from the Insight platform API to enable
Rapid7 has two types of API Keys: Organization Keys and User Keys. Organization Keys have access to all company data, while User Keys inherit the permissions of the user. To limit Dropzone's scope, you may wish to create a User Key with Read-only privileges limited to certain projects; alternatively, to improve Dropzone's analysis, you may wish to use an Organization Key. See Rapid7's Role-Based Access Control documentation for more information.
Stashed changes
To obtain an Organization API Key, do the following:
<<<<<<< Updated upstream
Log in to the Rapid7 Insight platform
Navigate to your user/account settings and locate API Keys (or equivalent for your organization)
Create a new API key with access to InsightIDR and copy it for use in Dropzone
Identify your data region
Dropzone needs the region code for your InsightIDR data storage region (for example us, not a full hostname). Use either method below.
From the product URL
Open any Rapid7 product you have access to (for example InsightIDR)
Look at the browser URL subdomain prefix before
.idr.insight.rapid7.com(or a similar Rapid7 product hostname)Enter that prefix in Dropzone as the Region value
For example, if your URL is https://us.idr.insight.rapid7.com, enter us in Dropzone.
Rapid7 API hosts for your tenant follow the same prefix:
Insight platform (IDR v2)
https://us.api.insight.rapid7.com
Log Search (LEQL)
https://us.rest.logs.insight.rapid7.com
For more detail, see Rapid7's Check your data region documentation.
From Organization Settings
In the Rapid7 Command Platform, go to Administration > Settings > Organization Settings
Find Data Storage Region (the display name for your tenant)
Map that label to the Region value for Dropzone using the table below
United States - 1
us
United States - 2
us2
Canada
ca
Europe
eu
Australia
au
Japan / Asia-Pacific
ap
For the full list of supported regions and API base URLs, see Rapid7's Supported regions documentation.
If the connection test fails
When you click Test on the alert source, Dropzone verifies connectivity by calling the InsightIDR investigations API on the platform host ({region}.api.insight.rapid7.com). This is not the Log Search API used by the Rapid7 Insight IDR data source. A wrong Region or API key can produce errors like:
or:
If you see these errors, re-check your Region using the steps above before assuming the API key is wrong. The same symptoms can appear when either value is incorrect.
Confirm the Region matches your Rapid7 URL prefix or the Organization Settings table (enter
us, notus.api.insight.rapid7.com)Re-open InsightIDR and verify the subdomain prefix (for example
us2vsus)If Region is correct, verify the API key is an organization key with InsightIDR access and was copied without extra spaces
For log-set or LEQL connection errors while configuring the data source, see If the connection test fails on the Rapid7 Insight IDR data source page.
If both Region and API key look correct, engage your Dropzone AI support representative.
