Working with properties
Editing asset properties in the UI has been deprecated. The properties panel is now read-only, so enriching or modifying property values, bulk-editing owner and tags, and resetting values are no longer available in the app. To update or enrich entities, use the JupiterOne API.
When JupiterOne ingests your asset data, properties are also ingested and other JupiterOne-specific properties are assigned to the asset. Asset properties enable you to understand more context around a particular asset and search for assets that have a specific property.
Accessing the graph inspector
The asset detailed properties side panel (the inspector) opens when you click on any of your assets (entities) anywhere in the JupiterOne UI, including in query or search results.
In addition to properties, JupiterOne ingests and/or assigns metadata and tags. JupiterOne also ingests raw data to document exactly what the source sent in its raw form. Reviewing the raw data enables you to verify what JupiterOne ingested in case the source has any additional information.
Updating entities via the API
Entity properties are no longer editable in the UI. To update or enrich entities — including their properties, tags, and owner — use the JupiterOne API:
- Sync jobs API — upload or update assets and relationships in quantity, formatted as JSON or YAML.
- JupiterOne API reference — read and update data programmatically through the GraphQL endpoint.
If the asset data was ingested by an integration, we recommend updating the data at the source rather than in JupiterOne, so the change persists across syncs.
