Liongard Inspector Setup

Step 1: Parent Inspector Setup

Since CrowdStrike EDR is a multi-tenant system where a single portal is used to manage multiple environments, we will set up a single Parent Inspector with the API Key that will then auto-discover Child Inspectors for each environment

In Liongard, navigate to Admin > Inspectors > Inspector Types > Navigate to the CrowdStrike EDR Inspector > Select Add System.

Fill in the following information:

  • Type of Inspector: Parent
  • Environment: Select your MSP Environment.
  • Friendly Name: Suggested "Liongard [Environment Name]"
  • Agent: Select the On-Demand agent.
  • Inspector Version: Latest.
  • Base URL: The URL of the CrowdStrike API.
  • Client ID: The API Key that was created from the steps above.
  • Secret: The API Secret that was created from the steps above.
  • Scheduling: The Inspector will default to run once a day when the Inspector is set up. Here, you can adjust the schedule

Select Save. The Inspector will now be triggered to run within the minute.

Step 2: Child Inspector Setup

After the first run of the Parent Inspector, your client CrowdStrike organizations will be Auto-Discovered in the Discovered Systems tab on the Inspectors > CrowdStrike EDR page.

Navigate to the Discovered Systems tab in your Inspectors > CrowdStrike EDR page.

  • Activate or Archive your Discovered Systems by ensuring they're mapped to the correct Environment. Check the checkbox to the left of Inspector(s), select the Actions drop-down menu and select Activate Launchpoints.
