term definition characteristics assets saved credentials and key/value pairs that help you connect to technologies, and also serve as a key store for commonly used sets of keys and values can be for a specific connector or customized, which can be applied to any action inputs most useful for standardizing and securing configurations | assets can be for a specific connector or customized, which can be applied to any action inputs, and are most useful for standardizing and securing configurations in turbine canvas, assets can be configured in your playbook allowing you to configure a connector and its asset without leaving the playbook canvas when to use assets you need to reuse credentials or common settings across playbooks you want to avoid storing secrets directly in playbook inputs you want consistent configuration for connector actions security tips use least privileged credentials for assets rotate secrets on a regular schedule review which playbooks depend on an asset before changing it key benefits of assets standardization assets ensure that sensitive data, such as api keys, credentials, and other key value pairs, are consistently applied across different playbooks, avoiding manual input errors security by centralizing credentials and keys in assets, they can be managed and updated in a single location, improving security management and reducing potential exposure to unauthorized users efficiency assets allow for seamless automation as they can be reused across multiple playbooks, simplifying playbook configuration by predefining commonly used values and connections scalability with assets, managing large scale environments with multiple playbooks becomes easier a single update to an asset can propagate across all playbooks where it is used, simplifying maintenance integration flexibility assets enable greater flexibility when connecting to multiple technologies by customizing the key value pairs for specific connectors, without the need to modify each individual action homepage to access assets, follow these steps log in to turbine from the left hand navigation pane, click orchestration and click assets from the assets homepage, a list of existing assets is shown, automatically sorted alphabetically you can use the features listed in the table to navigate the assets homepage for a faster and easier experience feature function filter by name use to filter by asset name plus icon select an asset type and view connector details (if applicable) ellipsis icon click to edit an asset from the homepage or delete an asset edit an asset if you want to edit an asset from the homepage click the ellipsis icon and select edit asset the edit asset window opens from here, modify the asset as needed and then save create asset from homepage if you do not see an existing asset on the homepage, you can create a custom asset a custom asset has a key icon details on creating custom assets are further in this section keep scrolling! click the plus icon to open the configure your connector asset window in the title and name fields, enter a title and name these fields are required click add a property to select the property type to configure after you click create, the custom asset is now available from the assets homepage configure assets in canvas want to apply an asset without mapping to your playbook inputs manually? watch as we apply the existing virus total (vt) asset to connectors inside a component let's use the same virustotal connectors from the page example the following image shows the expanded virus total url analysis component inside are two vt connectors that need to have the vt asset applied open it in the component builder to apply the asset click on the individual action to enable the action panel details on the right hand side of the canvas expand the asset section in the drop down menu, select the virustotal asset repeat for the next vt action now your asset is applied to the action if you wish to modify the data, simply click the configure hyperlink and modify the action inputs, outputs, or test manually custom assets to access assets, follow these steps log in to turbine from the left hand navigation pane, click orchestration and click assets click the plus icon to open the select an asset type window the first available asset is the custom asset, where you can map static data and product specific values that can be referenced across multiple playbooks and multiple actions after you click create, the next configuration step automatically opens where you can set up the title and name for your asset and add any properties as asset inputs to apply to actions in your playbook the following example shows that we have created a custom asset using a string property to create a google endpoint the input name shown needs to be an exact match to the action input key where you want to use this asset value once you've configured, click create and the custom asset is now available from the asset homepage a unique identifier is knowing that all of your custom assets will have a key icon delete assets to delete assets on orchestration, click assets click the vertical ellipsis icon next to the asset you want to edit click delete a confirmation dialog shows any playbooks that become disabled by deleting that asset to view the playbooks listed, click the individual playbook hyperlink to continue and delete, click the delete icon and hold if deleting that asset does not disable any playbooks, the following confirmation dialog shows to continue and delete, click the delete icon and hold note when deleting a custom asset, any playbooks that would be disabled by deleting the asset is shown in a dialog
