Connect Your Technologies

Start integrating your tech with Expel Workbench.

Each vendor technology has a specific Expel onboarding process that usually includes some setup within the technology before adding it as a security device in Workbench. Certain types of on-prem technology (like AWS, Azure, GCP, Hyper-V, VMware, and Nutanix) may require you to use an assembler rather than adding it as a security device. You may also wish to configure an IP allow list.

Add an Assembler (if applicable)

Do you need an assembler? Some technologies live on an internal, private network where a direct external connection cannot be established. These technologies will require the deployment of an Expel Assembler to connect. If you believe you may need an assembler, see the information below:

  • To understand how our assemblers are built and how they work, go to the About the Assembler guide.

  • To deploy an assembler, go to the Add a New Assembler guide and follow the instructions; links will be provided at the end of that guide to configure your specific technology.

Set Up Your Technology

To find setup instructions for your technology, do one of the following:

  • Search for and view your technology's setup guide:

  • Browse the Integrations page for our portfolio and select the hyperlink (if available) to go directly to the guide.

  • If you are an Organization Admin user, use the Set up buttons on your Welcome screen in Workbench to find links to your setup guides. For more information, go to About the Welcome Screen.

If you cannot find the setup guide you need, contact support for help.

Some integrations require you to grant us a certain level of console access during the setup process. For more information, see Why Expel Asks for Console Access.

About the Welcome Screen (Organization Admins Only)

If you are an Organization Admin user, you will see a Welcome screen when you log in to Workbench that will contain a list of your technologies to onboard. Select one of the Set up buttons to find a link to the appropriate setup guide.

After you have successfully connected, the Set up button will disappear and will be replaced by a connection status (as shown below).

The Welcome screen in Workbench shows a list of technologies you may want to or have already added.

If you know you are this user type but do not see the Welcome screen, try going to Dashboards > Alert Analysis.
