Manual asset creation

Explore how to create and add assets directly within your JupiterOne workspace to bring in new assets to your workspace or enrich existing entries with additional information.

Add an asset​

Out of the box, JupiterOne supports over 90 different asset classifications or defined assets. For a comprehensive list of these defined assets, see the JupiterOne data model. Each of these defined assets features its own relevant properties in addition to the common properties shared across assets.

Navigate to the Assets section of your workspace, open the actions menu (the three-dot menu), and select Add new asset. From there:

  1. Choose the type of asset you wish to create.
  2. Define the Type for the asset. This defines the source of the asset source. For example, an AWS resource may be of type aws_instance or aws_s3_bucket or aws_iam_user.
  3. Provide a Display Name for the asset. This determines how it will be displayed within the asset view. The asset’s Name value will default to the Display Name unless a separate Name value is provided.
  4. Optionally, provide a Summary, Description, and Classification for the asset.
  5. Add any relevant Defined Properties or desired Custom Properties, more information on asset properties can be found here.
  6. Provide any relevant tags through which the asset can be filtered or tracked.
  7. Click Save once all desired values have been provided for the asset.

Once created, you’ll be able to view and interface with your newly created asset within your Asset workspace.

Bulk upload assets​

To upload or update assets and relationships in quantity, use JupiterOne's sync jobs API. You format your data as JSON or YAML and submit it through the API, which supports scoped diffing (updating and deleting entities and relationships within a scope) and creating relationships across scopes.
