Execute Manual Remote Sync

The Execute Manual Remote Sync page allows you to manually trigger synchronization between ASCERA for Splunk and ASCERA Cloud. When you click the Execute Manual Sync button, the system uses your configured ASCERA Remote Sync modular input to pull control statuses, objective statuses, and control-level implementation statements from ASCERA Cloud into ASCERA for Splunk.

This ensures that both platforms remain aligned and show the same compliance data.

info

When Remote Sync is enabled, control-level implementation statements cannot be edited in ASCERA for Splunk. Instead, they must be edited in ASCERA Cloud. Any updates made in ASCERA Cloud will be reflected in Splunk during the next sync.

Before You Begin​

You must configure a Remote Sync modular input before you can use the Execute Manual Sync button.

To configure the input, gather the following details:

  • CUI System Splunk ID: The ID of the system in ASCERA for Splunk you want to sync.

  • System ID: The ID of the system in ASCERA Cloud you want to pull data from.

  • Framework ID: The ID for the CMMC Level 2 framework in ASCERA Cloud.

    • To find it: open your browser developer tools, go to the Network tab, preview the /frameworks request, and locate the ID for the CMMC Level 2 framework.
note

You will also need to create a GRC integration with ASCERA Cloud using the Splunk connector details. For step-by-step guidance, see our documentation: GRC Integration

Configure the Remote Sync Modular Input​

  1. In Splunk, navigate to: /en-US/manager/launcher/data/inputs/ascera_remote_sync

  2. Click New.

  3. Enter values for the following fields:

    • Input Name: A name for the input. We recommend using the system name you’re syncing, since each system requires its own input (1 input per system).

    • System ID: The System ID collected from ASCERA Cloud. CUI System Splunk ID: The CUI System Splunk ID for the system you wish to sync.

    • Framework ID: The Framework ID collected from ASCERA Cloud.

    • Endpoint: Enter prod.

    • Interval: The interval (in seconds) when the sync should run automatically.

      • Example: 86400 (once daily).

  4. Click Next to save the modular input.

Execute a Manual Sync​

Once the modular input is configured:

  1. Go to the Execute Manual Remote Sync page.
  2. Click Execute Manual Sync.

This will immediately trigger a sync with ASCERA Cloud using the configured modular input.

info

Syncs will also run automatically at the interval you defined in the modular input settings.
