# Diskover With Wasabi

Wasabi has been validated for use with [Diskover Data](https://diskoverdata.com). [Diskover](https://diskoverdata.com/solutions/) is a web-based data management solution providing a global view of data fragmented across cloud and on-premise storage, with integrated search, analytics, workflows, and actions. To learn more about the Diskover-Wasabi solution, please refer to our joint [solution brief](https://wasabi.com/resource/diskover-solution-brief/).

## **1. Reference Architecture**

![Screenshot_2023-03-12_at_8.59.14_PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/13599267752603.png)

## **2. Prerequisites**

- [Diskover Professional, Enterprise, Media Edition, and Life Science Edition](https://diskoverdata.com/solutions/) support native S3 scanning/indexing
- A license/annual subscription for [Diskover Professional, Enterprise, Media Edition, or Life Science Edition](https://diskoverdata.com/solutions/) is needed to unlock S3 scanner features and communicate with Wasabi
- An active Wasabi account
  - Wasabi Bucket - See our [Bucket Creation Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects)
  - Access & Secret Key Pair - See our [Access Keys Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key)

## **3. Configuration**

The indexing of Wasabi cloud storage can be configured both via a command line terminal and the Diskover web user interface. The command line is typically used for one-time and/or first-time scans, while the Diskover web user interface is the preferred method to set up indexing tasks at scheduled intervals.

Indexing via a terminal session

3.1. In a terminal session, add credentials to the default location for Wasabi S3 credentials:

```shell
cd /root/.aws
vi credentials
```

Example:

3.2. To use a Wasabi S3 endpoint, set the AWS_PROFILE and the S3_ENDPOINT_URL environment variables before running the crawl. Type the following commands to export the variables via a terminal session.

```powershell
export AWS_PROFILE=wasabi-eu
export S3_ENDPOINT_URL=https://
cd /opt/diskover
python3 diskover.py --altscanner scandir_s3 s3://
```

***Note:****For information on the Wasabi service URLs, please refer to our*[*Wasabi Service URLs article*](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/what-are-the-service-urls-for-wasabis-different-storage-regions) *.*

Indexing via the Diskover web user interface

3.3. Log in to the Diskover web interface. To add a Wasabi S3 endpoint via the Diskover web task panel, select "gear icon > Task Panel".

3.4. In the Task List panel, select "New Index Task" to start a new index. To modify an existing index, click Info in line with an existing index, then "Edit task".

3.5. Go down to "Environment Vars" and insert your endpoint in the dialog box for the task, for example:

```powershell
AWS_PROFILE=wasabi-west,S3_ENDPOINT_URL=https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com
```

## **4. Operations Summary**

Diskover is a data management platform allowing you to “connect” all your storage repositories, either they are located on-prem or in the cloud. Diskover is non-proprietary; we do not store your files; we simply index their metadata. Therefore, end-users have access to read-only index of files and not the files themselves, hence assuring the safety of your source files and production network.

Diskover offers integrated:

- [Global searches](https://diskoverdata.com/products/products-diskover-software/#searches)
- [Global analytics](https://diskoverdata.com/products/products-diskover-software/#analytics)
- [Actions](https://diskoverdata.com/products/products-diskover-software/#actions)
- [Workflows](https://diskoverdata.com/products/products-diskover-software/#workflows)
