¶ Add hosts into platform
In this step we add hosts like Firewall, Nginx (web server), Elastic (database server) and Kibana (reporting server) which is very important to us for feedback.
Hosts are probably the most important part of a database at the beggining. In the real world, we would use modules to feed data in automatically. However, we are using a manual approach for now.
See Add for more information. You can always add/modify objects manually within the model.
By default, add command inserts data into an actual epoch. See fcpc epoch and general platform options for more information.
To see all available object types, run fcpc list objects or see objects page
To see all available attributes for an object, run fcpc describe object/host or attributes page
More info about fcpc search
fcpc add host/fw name="Firewall" hostname="fw" description="Firewall" ip=1.2.3.1 tag=zone:internet,test:tag1
fcpc add host/nginx name="Web_server" hostname="nginx" description="Web server" tag=zone:dmz,criticality:high,test:tag2
fcpc add host/elastic name="DB_server" hostname="elastic" description="DB server" tag=zone:dmz,criticality:high,test:tag3
fcpc add host/kibana name="Reporting_server" hostname="kibana" description="Reporting server" tag=zone:internal,criticality:low
¶ Platform representation
Here you can see how the platform interprets our data. There is an initial epoch and all hosts inside it.
fcpc --search.show.output=dot search host+
Next - Create VLAN, DC and DMZ
