Log Management (InsightOps) and the Command Platform (Insight Platform)

What is the Command Platform (Insight Platform)?

Rapid7’s Command Platform (Insight Platform) is a single place for you to manage your Rapid7 product(s) from one place, focused on better user management, product management, and enhanced security to your data. Other products include SIEM (InsightIDR), Vulnerability Management (InsightVM), Application Security (InsightAppSec), and other upcoming products.

How does Log Management (InsightOps) fit into the picture?

Because Log Management (InsightOps) is part of the Rapid7 product suite, all users will access it via the Command Platform (Insight Platform).

What Log Management (InsightOps) data is available to the Platform?

While the Command Platform (Insight Platform) products share the need of the Rapid7 Agent (Insight Agent), each product’s Rapid7 Agent (Insight Agent) has a slightly different use for collecting data and therefore does not share data across products. Data lives inherently within the product itself, not the platform.

How is the communication between the agent and platform secured?

Communication between the Rapid7 Agent (Insight Agent) and the Command Platform (Insight Platform) is authenticated by two-way SSL and is secured by TLS v1.2 with a limited list of ciphers. It will fall back to TLSv1.1 for backwards compatibility.

How does Log Management (InsightOps) communicate with the Platform?

The Rapid7 Command Platform (Insight Platform) Collector gathers data from all your network and security event sources in your network, and sends it to the Rapid7 Command Platform (Insight Platform) cloud infrastructure which supports Log Management (InsightOps) event aggregation and processing.
