  1. Create a custom object with custom fields.
  2. Ensure your custom object’s fields match the fields of the data source that you want to see represented in Security Center.
  3. Create a custom date/time field named RecordProductionDate with the required attribute checked in order for Security Center to process the data.
    This field indicates the time when the record was created at the source.
  4. Create a text field with a length of 15 named TenantId with the required attribute checked.
    You can utilize this field on your custom object to track metric data across multiple tenants.
    Note
    Note Security Center will only process records which have this field set to either a Parent or Child tenant.
