Hello good Sirs and Mams,
Im fairly new to the whole DSM administration and have a few questions. The one that would help me out the most is regarding Smart Folders and automatically populate them. Ive read through the API documentation and it seems like there is no function for Smart Folder creation.
What im trying to do is to import a list from a *.csv file (or directly from AD group) to a Smart Folder view in DSM, how do i achieve this ? I got the file populated but there i cant get further. Any pointers and advice welcome.
Smart Folders are similar to Advanced Save Searches". You can create a Smart Folder with conditions. The API documentation is here (for Deep Security Manager 11.2): https://automation.deepsecurity.trendmicro.com/legacy-rest/11_2/index.html?env=onprem#create_smart_folder
If you're trying to use Computer Groups, instead of Smart Folders, you would have to create the Computer Group using the API, and then modify each Computer object, setting the GroupID field: https://automation.deepsecurity.trendmicro.com/article/11_2/api-reference?platform=on-premise#operation/modifyComputer
Alternatively, if it's Active Directory, you can configure Deep Security to automatically synchronize with Active Directory, which will handle the folder structure for you. See https://help.deepsecurity.trendmicro.com/12_0/on-premise/Add-Computers/ug-add-activedirectory.html for more information.
