Netsparker Response Integration via API

Purpose

This guide explains how to configure the Netsparker (Invicti) Response integration in Logsign USO, so that Incidents and Alarms can automatically, or an analyst can manually, browse scan agents/policies/websites, launch a new web application scan, and retrieve scan status/results/reports directly from a Logsign Incident. This is a query/scan-management integration, configured under Settings > Integrations > Responses > +Device.

Prerequisites

  • A Netsparker Enterprise (Invicti) account with API access: a User ID and an API Token.

This integration connects to Netsparker's cloud service (netsparkercloud.com) and has no setting to point it at a self-hosted/on-premises Netsparker Enterprise instance. If your deployment is on-premises rather than cloud, confirm with Logsign support whether this integration can reach it before relying on it.

Step 1: Obtain Your Netsparker API Credentials

  1. Log in to your Netsparker Enterprise / Invicti account.
  2. Open your account/API settings and note your User ID and API Token.

Step 2: Configure the Integration in Logsign USO

In Logsign USO, go to Settings > Integrations > Responses, search for Netsparker, click Configure then +Device, and fill in:

FieldDescription
Device NameFree-text label identifying this Netsparker device in Logsign.
User IdYour Netsparker User ID.
Api TokenYour Netsparker API Token. Stored encrypted at rest.

The configuration schema does not formally mark either field as required, but both are functionally necessary for authentication; fill in both and click Create to save the device.

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely causeWhat to check
401/403 errorMissing or wrong User Id/Api Token.Confirm both fields are filled in and match your Netsparker account exactly.
429 Too Many RequestsNetsparker Cloud enforces API rate limits based on your plan.Reduce the frequency of automated calls.
start-scan fails to find the targetThe website/target is not registered in Netsparker, or scan_type is invalid.Use list-websites/get-websites-by-name to confirm the target is registered before starting a scan.

Notes and Limits

  • Only scan websites you are authorized to scan. Launching web application scans against systems without authorization may violate policy or law depending on your jurisdiction and the target's ownership.
  • Scans can take a significant amount of time depending on the target and scan policy; use get-scan-status to poll before expecting get-scan-result/get-scan-report to return complete data.
