Pull Request Review

Summary

This PR updates the documentation for customizing the Event Service listening port by removing hardcoded database credentials and directing users to contact Netwrix support instead. This is a critical security improvement.

✅ Positive Aspects

1. Security Enhancement: Removing the hardcoded database password (DEFEND124!!) from public documentation is essential. Hardcoded credentials in documentation pose a significant security risk.

2. Professional Approach: Directing users to contact support for database access is the correct approach for sensitive operations that could impact production systems.

3. Minimal Changes: The PR is focused and only modifies what's necessary, following good practices for documentation updates.

4. Clear Commit Message: The PR title and description accurately describe the change.

📝 Observations

Line 31 (docs/kb/threatmanager/configuration-and-administration/how-to-customize-event-service-listening-port-s.md:31)

• The updated instruction is clear and appropriate
• Consider whether additional context would be helpful (e.g., what information support will need to provide access)

Line 44 (End of file)

• Added a newline at the end of the file, which follows best practices for text files

🔍 Documentation Quality

Consistency Check: The document mixes product naming:

• Line 22, 25, 28, 31: "Netwrix Threat Prevention"
• Line 31: "Netwrix Threat Manager"
• Line 44: "Netwrix Threat Prevention"

Recommendation: Verify the correct product name. If "Threat Manager" is the current name (as suggested by the folder structure and line 31), consider updating all references for consistency.

✅ Best Practices Compliance

• ✅ No code changes (documentation only)
• ✅ Security improvement (credential removal)
• ✅ Clear and concise changes
• ✅ File ends with newline
• ✅ Markdown formatting maintained
• ✅ No broken links introduced

🎯 Recommendations

1. Product Name Consistency: Consider a follow-up to standardize whether this product is called "Netwrix Threat Prevention" or "Netwrix Threat Manager" throughout the document.

2. Support Contact Details: Optionally, you could add specific support contact information or a link to the support portal to make it easier for users to reach out.

3. Testing: Ensure the referenced images and links in the document still work correctly.

Final Assessment

Status: ✅ Approved

This is a straightforward and necessary security improvement. The changes are minimal, focused, and significantly improve the security posture of the documentation by removing exposed credentials. The only minor consideration is the product naming consistency, which could be addressed in a follow-up PR if needed.

Great work prioritizing security! 🔒

Pull Request Review: Revise steps for customizing event service port

Summary

This PR updates the documentation for customizing Event Service listening ports in Netwrix Threat Manager. The changes include two commits:

1. Updated instructions for the event service port customization process
2. Corrected product references from "NTP" to "NTM" (Netwrix Threat Manager)

Code Quality & Documentation Standards ✅

Strengths:

• Clear and accurate product name updates throughout the document
• Improved security guidance by directing users to contact Netwrix support for database access
• Keywords section properly updated to include both old and new product names for search discoverability
• Consistent terminology used throughout the document

Changes Analysis

1. Product Name Consistency (Good)

• ✅ Updated from "Netwrix Threat Prevention" to "Netwrix Threat Manager"
• ✅ Keywords section now includes both "Threat Prevention" and "Threat Manager" for backward compatibility and search
• ✅ All references in the body text correctly updated

2. Security Improvement (Excellent) 🔒

Before:

2. Connect to the Netwrix Threat Prevention database. You will have to create a "Master" password for PGAdmin as well as enter the Netwrix Threat Prevention database password: `DEFEND124!!`

After:

2. Reach out to Netwrix support to gain access to the Netwrix Threat Manager database.

This is a significant security improvement:

• ✅ Removes hardcoded database password from public documentation
• ✅ Centralizes database access through proper support channels
• ✅ Follows security best practices for credential management

Observations & Suggestions

Minor Issues:

1. Keywords Ordering (Minor):
   The keywords section now lists:

   - Threat Manager
   - Threat Prevention
   - Netwrix Threat Prevention
   - Netwrix Threat Manager

   Consider grouping these logically (e.g., all "Threat Manager" variants together):

   - Threat Manager
   - Netwrix Threat Manager
   - Threat Prevention
   - Netwrix Threat Prevention

2. Step 2 Ambiguity (Minor):
   The new instruction "Reach out to Netwrix support to gain access to the Netwrix Threat Manager database" could be clearer about:

   • Should users contact support before each database modification, or is this a one-time setup?
   • What specific credentials or access will support provide?
   • Does this replace the need for installing PGAdmin (step 1)?

   Suggested clarification:

   2. Connect to the Netwrix Threat Manager database via PGAdmin. If you do not have database credentials, reach out to Netwrix support for access.

3. Missing Context (Minor):
   Step 3 begins with "Select Tables" but doesn't mention where (in PGAdmin's interface). The context is implied but could be clearer:

   3. In PGAdmin, navigate to the database and select **Tables** > **defend_config table**

Testing Recommendations

• ✅ Verify that the image references still work: ../0-images/ka0Qk000000DkZh_0EM4u000008LC2a.png
• ✅ Confirm that the new security process (contacting support) is the intended workflow
• ✅ Test that the keywords update improves search discoverability for both old and new product names
