Project Overview & Management
After creating a new project, you are directed to the Project Overview page. This page provides a summary of your project configuration and a step-by-step guide to help you complete your project setup.
Project Overview Page
The Project Overview page displays:
- Project Name and Environment: The name and environment (Development, Staging, or Production) of your project
- Project ID: A unique identifier for your project, used in API calls
- Creation Date: When the project was created
- Datacenter: Where your project data is stored
- Encryption Strategy: The encryption method used for this project
- Additional Features: Any additional security features enabled for this project
Project Configuration Steps
The overview page presents a guided setup process with the following steps:
-
Create Project ✓
- You’ve already configured your new Qanapi project.
-
Create an API Key
- API keys allow you to authenticate and use the Qanapi API.
- Click on the API Keys tab or the corresponding button to create your first API key.
-
Create Data Classifications
- Choose your data classifications to associate them with your sensitive data.
- Click on the Classifications tab to set up your classification tags.
-
Data Proxies
- Use the Data Proxy to easily encrypt and forward HTTP requests.
- The Data Proxies tab shows your project-specific endpoint URLs.
Project Tabs
Your project has several tabs that allow you to configure different aspects:
API Keys Tab
The API Keys tab allows you to create and manage API keys for your project.
Classifications Tab
The Data Classifications tab lets you create and manage data classification tags.
Data Proxies Tab
The Data Proxies tab provides information about your project’s data proxy endpoints, which are used for encrypting and decrypting data.
Log Destinations Tab
The Log Destinations tab allows you to configure where the logs for your project should be sent, including integration with SIEM tools.
Event Log Tab
The Event Log tab displays all events related to your project, providing a complete audit trail.
Project Settings
While viewing a project, you can access project settings by clicking the settings icon in the top-right corner of the project page. This allows you to:
- Update the project name
- View datacenter and configuration details
- Configure additional security features
- Archive or delete the project
Archiving or deleting a project will impact access to data encrypted with that project’s keys. Make sure you have properly decrypted any necessary data before taking these actions.
Managing Multiple Projects
If you have multiple projects, you can:
- Return to the Projects page by clicking “Projects” in the left sidebar
- Switch between projects using the project selector dropdown when already in a project
- Filter and search for specific projects on the Projects page
Best Practices
For effective project management in Qanapi:
- Use clear, descriptive project names
- Create separate projects for different environments (Development, Staging, Production)
- Use different data classifications for varying sensitivity levels
- Regularly review API key usage
- Monitor the Event Log for unusual activity
Next Steps
After understanding your project overview, you should:
- Create API Keys
- Set Up Data Classifications
- Configure Data Proxies
