Water to Wine - A Use Case Narrative

Summary:

This document describes a system designed to convert ArcSight report data into visualizations on Google Maps using Perl scripting and HTML integration with WebConsole. The solution comprises four components: ARB for running reports, CSV2KML perl script for converting .csv data to KML, an HTML file displaying Google Maps integration, and direct HTML integration into WebConsole. The ARB feature enables users to run basic reports every 5 minutes within a specified directory or name. The CSV2KML script transforms ArcSight report data from .csv format to KML, which is then visualized on Google Maps with the option to customize icons and thresholds based on company locations. The HTML file utilizes Google Maps API V3 to set map center location and graphics. Additionally, it allows users to add a Google Maps module directly into WebConsole preferences for seamless integration. To implement this solution, internet access is required along with specific software installations such as Perl's Text::CSV module and Apache Maven for project building from source. Proper file management is essential, including setting ownership (arcsight:arcsight) and appropriate directory placement. The document concludes by thanking Sean Davies and Ray Cotten for their contributions and emphasizing the importance of security measures to protect intellectual property information during transmission.

This document outlines a system for transforming ArcSight report data into Google Maps visualizations using Perl scripting and HTML integration with WebConsole. The solution consists of four main components: the ARB (which runs basic reports), a CSV2KML perl script, an HTML file displaying Google Maps integration, and direct HTML integration into WebConsole. The ARB feature allows users to run basic reports at 5-minute intervals within the same directory or name. The Perl script, CSV2KML, converts ArcSight report data from .csv format to Keyhole Markup Language (KML), allowing for visualization on Google Maps. It includes options to change icons and thresholds based on company locations. The HTML file uses Google Maps API V3 to display map settings like center location and graphics, while the integration feature allows users to add a Google Maps module directly into WebConsole preferences. The setup requires internet access and specific software installations including Perl's Text::CSV module and Apache Maven for building projects from source. File management is crucial with proper ownership (arcsight:arcsight) and directory placement as specified. The document concludes by acknowledging the contributions of Sean Davies and Ray Cotten, emphasizing security considerations to protect IP information during transmission.
