IP Allowlists

You might need to add the Monad IP range of 34.210.32.104/32 to your Rapid7 InsightVM allowlist, so Monad can connect to it.

Set up a service user

To connect Rapid7 InsightVM to your Monad instance, provide the website and port, and a username and password. You should create a service user for this purpose.

To create a service user in Rapid7:

  1. Log in to your Rapid7 InsightVM Security Console as an administrator.
  2. In the left-navigation, click Administration (list of three bullet points) at the bottom of the nav bar.
  3. In the Users panel, click Create.
  4. On the User configuration screen that appears, give the service user a name. Include “Monad” and “service” in that name. Save this to your secrets manager.
  5. Enter an email address and password for the user, and write these down for later along with the username.
  6. Select Account enabled, and make sure Require password reset upon login is deselected.
  7. Click the Roles tab in the left navigation of the user creation dialog.
  8. Select the User role, and make sure the items in the following sections are checked:
    • Global Permissions: Appear on Ticket and Report Lists
    • Site Permissions: View Site Asset Data
    • Asset GROUP Permissions: View Group Asset Data
    • Report Permissions: Create Reports
    • Platform Permissions: Remediation Projects and Goals & SLAs

Connect the Rapid7 InsightVM connector

Next, create the connector in Monad.

  1. From your Monad Map screen, click Add Connector.
  2. Select the Rapid7 InsightVM connector.
  3. Optionally, change the default name for the connector. This name serves as a label for the connector in the Monad app, and you can change it later.
  4. Enter the username and password for the service user you just created.
  5. Enter the URL for your Rapid7 InsightVM instance. (e.g. https://insightvm.companyname.security:3780)
  6. (Optional) - set your connector schedule
  7. Click Connect.

That’s it! Monad tests the connection to Rapid7, and if successful, begins syncing data from Rapid7 into your Monad account.
