I am looking at integration my platform to an Archer Instance for GRC. I have been reading docs @ RSA so far am left with the impression that my tool can GET/POST to Archer but Archer cannot POST out to my cloud platform.

Anyone have insight if thats incorrect? Any examples or links where Archer POSTS outbound?

That's correct, Archer itself can't POST out to your platform.

Here's what I've done in the past:

  • Use the Archer API to grab a report (containing the data you want to post to ServiceNow(or other platform))
  • Iterate through
    • For each record returned from Archer, format data according to needs
    • POST Data
    • If Success Post, update a field on that archer record (usually a flag or something that made it be on your report to begin with)
    • Log Success or not

The only missing piece of information you need to figure out is "How often do I need this data in my other platform?", but that's the easy part.

  • 'Use the Archer API to grab a report' -- How did you do this? I can't find anything for externally pulling reports via API in the docs. – TheProletariat Jul 19 '18 at 19:47

    When looking to move data from Archer to somewhere else, you can 'pull down'/grab an Archer report using the web service Search class and the method SearchRecordsByReport. That’ll get you your data and it’s up to you to format it in a way that your other system can consume. – ArcherHero Jul 19 '18 at 20:01
