Orbital Settings My Account Page

The purpose of the My Account page in the Settings group is to display user account-specific information as well as allowing the user to configure their Orbital experience to their liking. The My Account page in the Settings group is shown in the figure below.

The My Account Page

The My Account page consists of the following nine user interface elements:

Element Description
Name This element is used to display the full name of the user. This display element is display only and cannot be edited.
User ID This element displays the user ID that the client organization has assigned to the user. This display element is display only and cannot be edited.
Email This element displays the email that the organization has assigned to the user. This display element is display only and cannot be edited.
Version This element displays Orbital Service’s version number.
Time Options The Time Options dialog, shown in the figure below, is used to set the default time zone and time format for the account. The time zone and format will dictate how the time and date are displayed in user interface elements such as the Refreshed element, located on the Results page or the Last Seen column on the Endpoints page. The time zone and format does not affect the time and date of the query results or time listings for actions performed on endpoints.
Time Options Dialog
The Cisco XDR or SecureX Time Zone/Format radio button will tell Orbital to use the time zone and time format settings that Cisco XDR or SecureX uses.
The Custom Time Zone/Format radio button will tell Orbital to use the time zone and time format settings the user will set in the Time Zone and Time Format dropdowns.
The Time Zone dropdown is used to manually set the time zone where the user is located. Clicking on the dropdown will display a list of acceptable time zones.
The Time Format dropdown is used to define the format that time will take. Clicking on the dropdown will display a list of available time formats and provide an example of that format.
Default Interval This is a compound element and is used to define the default time frequency and duration for scheduled queries. It consists of the following three components:
The Every dropdown is used to set the query schedule’s frequency. A scheduled query’s frequency is how often it is run. For example, if you set this dropdown to 30 minutes, Orbital will run the query every 30 minutes.
The For dropdown is used to set the query schedule’s duration. A scheduled query’s duration defines the length of time that Orbital will keep a query in the execution queue before it will no longer run the query. For example, if you set this dropdown to 24 hours, Orbital will keep the query in its execution queue for 24 hours, after which, it will remove the query from its execution queue and no longer run the query.
The Run Once toggleswitch is used to define how many times Orbital will run the query on each node. If this toggleswitch is set on, Orbital will only run the query once on each endpoint over the query’s duration. If the toggleswitch is set off, Orbital will run the query against each endpoint every time the query is scheduled to run.
For example:
If you set the Every dropdown to 30 minutes and the For dropdown to 24 hours, Orbital will run the query every 30 minutes over a period of 24 hours, after which, Orbital will stop running the query.
If the Run Once toggleswitch is set off, Orbital will run the query every 30 minutes over a period of 24 hours against every endpoint in the organization, every time the query is run.
If the Run Once toggleswitch has been set on, Orbital will run the query every 30 minutes over a period of 24 hours against each endpoint only once. This means that if the query is run against an endpoint once during the 24 hour duration, it will not be run again on that endpoint. This is useful when running a query against the entirety of an organization’s endpoints, but user is uncertain of which endpoints are online at what time.
Default Remote Data Store This element allows you to define one or more remote data stores that will be automatically used by Orbital to send your scheduled query results to. Clicking on this dropdown will display a list of the previously defined remote data store for you to choose from. Refer to the Orbital Settings Remote Data Stores Page topic for more information on defining and managing your organization’s remote data stores.
