StorageGuard collects configuration data from Nasuni by opening an HTTPS connection to the Nasuni Management Console and running read-only REST API calls.
The following table lists the requirements for scanning Nasuni:
| # | Description |
| 1 | Provide the network name or IP address of the Nasuni Management Console. |

| 3 | The user account should be assigned with an unlimited read-only role, enabling it to run GET requests. Examples of read-only APIs used:
