Hi all,

When I config assets in SplunkES, I have a problem which concern field pci_domain.
I have read the document but I don't understand clearly about this field : the purpose and effect of this field in SpunkES ?
Besides, if i have a asset which not belong pci scope, I need fill what in filed pci_dmain ?
I hope everyone will help my with this case.

Thanks everyone.

If an asset does not have PCI scope then you can leave the pci_domain field empty. The field is used in the Asset Center dashboard.

An empty/null should be fine.
Please find a sample

ip,mac,nt_host,dns,owner,priority,lat,long,city,country,bunit,category,pci_domain,is_expected,should_timesync,should_update,requires_av,
10.31.111.130,,myhost-01,myhost-01.domain.com,,medium,,,London,United Kingdom,IT,CATEGORY1,cardholder,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE
10.31.111.131,,myhost-02,myhost-02.domain.com,,medium,,,London,United Kingdom,IT,NON_CAT,,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE

you can get some hint by Looking into lookups of the APP SA-IdentityManagement/lookups/pci*

pci_domain=> The domain of the host as it pertains to PCI. The domain is used to identify instances where cardholder data may pass to Internet-facing devices, such as for PCI requirement 1.3.3.An asset can be included in multiple PCI domains by assigning a pipe-delimited list of domains in the asset list.

This field is used for grouping of Identities by Priority and/or Business Unit and Category and used by SA-IdentityManagement add-on of the SPlunkES

So it is quite important for security posture of your organisation. Traditionally it used to be part of splunkES, but since there is an exclusive PCI app now, i'm not sure about the future of this field
