Overview

In order to enable your organization to evolve over time and make it easy to manage the solution, we’ve built an administrative control dashboard to put managing navigation and other tasks right in Splunk web.

From this page, you can modify the cards and navigation associated with the domains and practices throughout the solution. If you’d like to change descriptions, icons, or expanded guidance information, you can do it right on this page.

Default Levels

Screenshot Frameworks CMMC, FISMA, and OMB M 21-31 have the option to select levels that will be selected by default in the Practice Overview Page.

Domains

Toggle Visibility

To toggle the visibility of the practices, click toggle the switch under the “Visible” column.

To toggle multiple practices, follow these steps: 1. Upload a csv that includes the field “Control Name Field” (field to match against Control Name) and “Implementation Status Field” (“Not Applicable” sets visibility to false). If using RMF, a eMass POAM report can be uploaded. An example of a csv can be found below:

Control Name Field Implementation Status Field
AC-1 Not Applicable
AC-2 Applicable

In the Practice Family Collection Setup, click “Select a lookup to toggle visibility” 2. Select the csv you uploaded in the first step. 3. The fields will automatically be set to “Control Name Field” and “Implementation Status Field”. 4. Once submitted, the practice table will update.

Removing Practices and Domains
