Configure Collection Extensions

NOTE: This applies to releases prior to 10.12.

If you want to collect a certain dataset that is not being collected already, you can create a Collection Extension that will collect that data and upload it in the endpoint database. You can create a Collection Extension template which allows you to select a specific Action, then choose a file to execute, and then enter parameters. Collection Extensions are different from Automations in that they only run asynchronously and cannot prompt the end user.

NOTE: If you have pseudoanonyimization, make sure you do not collect Personal Identifiable Information (PII) in your collection extension.

Collection Extensions Tab

At the top of the page you can find the drop-down list in which you select the Collection Extension you want to edit and the Add, Delete, Import, and Export icons.
