Asana

The Sumo Logic app for Asana enables you to track user sign in activities, detect data access and export, and identify changes to security settings and user roles. This allows you to gain insights into user and team management updates and identify potential security threats. This app provides a pre-built dashboard that allows you to visualize the Asana data in a meaningful way and identify trends and patterns in the team. By taking appropriate actions based on these insights, you can ensure the security of Asana data and prevent data breaches.

Key features of the Asana app include:

• Pre-built dashboard. You may view the most important metrics connected to Asana data quickly using this app's pre-built dashboard. These dashboards offer a high-level overview of user updates, data exports, role changes, and logins.
• Customizable searches. With the help of this app, you may build custom searches to examine particular Asana data elements, allowing you to go deeper into the data and find insights that are pertinent to your company's needs.
• Real-time monitoring. By providing real-time monitoring of Asana data, this tool enables you to keep track of the most recent developments and trends in your team's work.
• Integration with other sources. This app can be used in conjunction with other Sumo Logic apps, which enables you to gain a more holistic view of the data.

Collection configuration and app installation

Depending on the set up collection method, you can configure and install the app in three ways:

• Create a new collector and install the app. Create a new Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source under a new Sumo Logic Collector and later install the app, or
• Use an existing collector and install the app. Create a new Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source under an existing Sumo Logic Collector and later install the app, or
• Use existing source and install the app. Use your existing configured Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source and install the app.

info

Use the Cloud-to-Cloud Integration for Asana to create the source and use the same source category while installing the app. By following these steps, you can ensure that your Asana app is properly integrated and configured to collect and analyze your Asana data.

Create a new collector and install the app

To set up collection and install the app, do the following:

note

Next-Gen App: To install or update the app, you must be an account administrator or a user with Manage Apps, Manage Monitors, Manage Fields, Manage Metric Rules, and Manage Collectors capabilities depending upon the different content types part of the app.

Viewing Asana dashboards

All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.

• You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
• You can use template variables to drill down and examine the data on a granular level. For more information, see Filtering Dashboards with Template Variables.
• Most Next-Gen apps allow you to provide the scope at the installation time and are comprised of a key (_sourceCategory by default) and a default value for this key. Based on your input, the app dashboards will be parameterized with a dashboard variable, allowing you to change the dataset queried by all panels. This eliminates the need to create multiple copies of the same dashboard with different queries.

Overview

The Asana - Overview dashboard presents a comprehensive overview of audit events related to actions taken on Asana. It includes widgets for user logins from risky locations, number of users invited, password change events, events by user authorization, user login events over time, content exports by resource, events by role change, events by team status, events by app authorization, events by access token authorization, deletion events, and geographical locations of user login. Overall, this dashboard provides quick access to pertinent information, making it a useful tool for improving event management. Also, the recent admin settings and recent access control events widgets offer a concise overview of recent events related to respective categories.
