I am looking for a strategy to collect *NIX accounts in G&L. We have about 50 Linux, AIX, UNIX servers which we need to collect accounts from. I have a script working which copies (scp) the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to the G&L server and then parse them with a simple Java class to get them into a .csv file for import into G&L via an Account Collector.
I kind of feel that this is a bit of a hack and am looking for a more elegant solution (less scripting). Can I use and agent for this? Are there any other options?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Sean,
In my opinion, 50 servers is quite manageable, but if you are thinking to increase, then...
For a more "elegant" solution, you can consider using StealthAudit - https://www.stealthbits.com/new-stealthaudit-release
I'm not sure whether the StealthAudit license which is provided with the DAG module covers the Linux/Unix part.
Another product that might "gather" the required information is Varonis DATADVANTAGE- https://www.varonis.com/products/datadvantage/unixlinux/
Haven't had a chance to use those products so can't elaborate more.
My 2 cents
