To create Forescout properties, which can then be updated using the Cortex XSOAR-Forescout integration, from the Forescout console, navigate to Tools > Options > Data Exchange (DEX) > CounterACT Web Console > Properties . This is where you create new properties. Make sure to associate the properties with the account you created, and which you used in the configuration parameters of the Forescout integration in Cortex XSOAR. Lists must also be defined and created in the Forescout console before you can update them using the Cortex XSOAR-Forescout integration. For more information, reference the Defining and Managing Lists section in the Forescout Administration Guide .

1. Get a list of active endpoints
Retrieves a list of active endpoints.
Base Command
forescout-get-hosts
Input
Argument Name | Description | Required |
---|---|---|
rule_ids | Filter hosts by those selected by policies or policy sub-rules. Policies and/or rules should be specified by their IDs. To find policy and rule IDs by which you can filter, run the forescout-get-policies command. If multiple policy and/or rule IDs are entered, only hosts that are selected by all of the policies and/or rules specified will be returned. Multiple policy or rule IDs should be separated by a comma. | Optional |
fields | Filter hosts based on host field values. Enter fields with their associated values in the following format, ‘{field_1}={val_1}&{field_2}={val_2} … &{field_n}={val_n}’ where ‘{field_1}’ through ‘{field_n}’ are replaced by actual field names and ‘{val_1}’ through ‘{val_n}’ are replaced by the desired matching values. Note that a list field may be specified with the values separated by commas. Only hosts whose properties match all the specified values will be returned. For a list of potential host fields that may be specified, try executing the ‘forescout-get-hostfields’ command. A composite property may also be specified. If entered in the format where all the field-value pairs are in a single set of square brackets, for example, ‘{composite_prop}=[{field_1},{val_1},…,{field_n},{val_n}]’ then only hosts for which the specified composite property’s fields all match the values entered will be returned. If entered in the format, ‘{composite_prop}=[{field_1},{val}_1],…,[{field_n},{val_n}]’ where each field-value pair is enclosed in its own set of brackets, then hosts for which the composite property contains any of the field-values specified will be returned. Note that for composite properties, sub-fields should be entered as their internal representation in Forescout. To find internal representation for a composite property’s sub-fields try executing ‘forescout-get-host’ command with the host specified in the ‘identifier’ argument and the name of the composite property entered in the ‘fields’ argument of the command. | Optional |

5. Update host fields
Update a host’s field. Note that if a List field or Composite field has not been defined in Forescout to ‘Aggregate new values from each update’ that performing an update operation on a field will overwrite previous data written to that field.
Base Command
forescout-update-host-fields
Input
Argument Name | Description | Required |
---|---|---|
update_type | The type of update to perform on a host field. | Optional |
host_ip | The IP address of the target host. Required if ‘updated_type’ is ‘update’ or ‘delete’. | Required |
field | Enter the the name of the field to update. Composite fields should be updated using the ‘fields_json’ command argument. | Optional |
value | Value to be assigned to the field specified in the ‘field’ argument. If the value is a list of items, then items should be separated using a comma. | Optional |
fields_json | One may perform multiple field-value assignments using this command argument. The argument should be entered in valid JSON format. This argument is useful for setting composite fields although other fields may be entered as well. For example, ‘{“Example_Composite”: [{“Shape”: “Triangle”, “Color”: “Beige”}, {“Shape”: “Square”, “Color”: “Violet”}], “String_Field”: “Example”}’ where ‘Example_Composite’ is the name of the Composite field in Forescout and ‘Shape’ and ‘Color’ are sub fields. In the example, ‘String_Field’ is a regular host field of type string whose value will be assigned ‘Example’. If the composite field was defined in Forescout as an aggregate property then additional records will be appended, otherwise they will be overwritten. | Optional |
