SSH / WinRM Data Source

This data source allows connecting to systems offering SSH (mostly Linux) or configured for WinRM (mostly Windows).

Connections to hosts via SSH use port 22 by default, where connections to Windows hosts via WinRM use port 5985 for HTTP and 5986 for HTTPS by default.

Similar to the IP Network Data Source the SSH and WinRM Data Source require IP ranges that will be explored by the specific importer. The user has the possibility to add several credentials (containing of username and password). During the process of exploring the given IP ranges, all credentials are tested on all IP addresses. Combinations of valid credentails and hosts will be stored for the next importer run as to keep unsuccessful authentication attempts to a minimum. The check for open ports can be done via ping or port scan if at all.
