Customize advanced system settings

A number of advanced configurations can be performed via Administration > System Settings > Advanced.

You can automate system setting changes using the Workload Security API. For examples, see Configure Policy, Computer, and System Settings.

Export

Export file character encoding: The character encoding used when you export data files from Workload Security. The encoding must support characters in your chosen language.

Exported Diagnostics Package Language: Your support provider may ask you generate and send them a Workload Security diagnostics package. This setting specifies the language for the package. The diagnostic package is generated through Administration > System Information.

Manager AWS Identity

You can configure cross-account access. Select one of the following:

• Use Manager Instance Role: The more secure option to configure cross-account access. Attach a policy with the sts:AssumeRole permission to the Workload Security instance role, then select this option. Does not appear if Workload Security does not have an instance role.
• Use AWS Access Keys: Create the keys and attach a policy with the sts:AssumeRole permission before you select this option, and then type the Access Key and Secret Key.

Asynchronous Tasks

A number of Notification Service tasks are executed asynchronously. You can enable and disable them when required. Once enabled, the following tasks are executed in the background, with their status indicated by the bell notification icon at the top of the console:

• Send Policy To Computers Asynchronously
• Export Computers Asynchronously
• Generate Single Reports Asynchronously
• Export Events Asynchronously
• Dismiss Computer Alerts Asynchronously
