Add domains and email addresses to Identity Monitor watchlist

The Identity Monitor watchlist is where you add the domains and email addresses to be audited for credential exposure.

Your subscription determines the number of domains and email addresses you can add to the watchlist. For example the WI SolarWinds 100 plan allows up to 2 domains and 25 email addresses. To upgrade your subscription, contact SolarWinds or submit a ticket.

Domain watchlist

This watchlist monitors any email address associated with a domain in your domain watchlist.

For example, if you have solarwinds.com in your domain watchlist, rather than having to add each individual email address, all addresses within that domain are monitored.

Add a domain watchlist item

1. Log in to Identity Monitor as an administrator.
2. Click to extend the left panel.
3. Under Watchlist, click All.
4. In the All Watchlist Assets page, click Add Watchlist Items.
5. Select Domain.
6. Enter the domain, or domains, to be monitored in the text field.
7. Click Add.

   Each domain must be verified for ownership. If ownership is not confirmed, the domain remains in an inactive status, and users cannot review data associated with the domain.

8. To verify the domain from the watchlist asset page, click on the Action button in the new domain's row.
9. Click Verify. The Domain Verification window opens.
   
10. You can authenticate a domain using one of three ways:

    You must have access to the domain site's DNS TXT record, metadata, or website root folder to authenticate domain ownership.

    • Create a DNS TXT record, using the authentication code provided in the portal.
    • Add a meta tag to the homepage header, using the authentication code provided in the portal.
    • Add a HTML file to the root folder of the website containing the authentication code provided in the portal. This file must be named as indicated in the Domain Verification window.
11. Click Verify Now.

Email watchlist

This watchlist monitors non-work email addresses (those not associated with a company domain) that are used for professional services, such as social media or cloud services. These addresses can be from Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and so on.

Domain-based email addresses are automatically monitored by Identity Monitor and therefore do not need to be individually added to the email watchlist.

Add an email watchlist item

5. Enter the email address, or addresses, to be monitored in the text field.
