- **Security Monitoring only**: Use only the Security Monitoring module to monitor data from NGINX App Protect WAF instances. You will be able to review the security dashboards to assess potential threats and identify opportunities to fine-tune your policies. Your NGINX App Protect WAF configurations are managed outside of the NGINX Instance Manager context. | ||
- **Security Monitoring and Instance Manager**: Use the Security Monitoring module with the NGINX Instance Manager. In addition to monitoring your application security, you will be able to manage your NGINX App Protect WAF configurations and security policies in a single location and push pre-compiled updates to an instance or instance group. | ||

- Manage NGINX App Protect WAF security configurations by using the NGINX Management Suite user interface or REST API | ||||||
- Manage NGINX App Protect WAF security configurations by using the NGINX Instance Manager user interface or REST API | ||||||
- Update Attack Signatures and Threat Campaign packages | ||||||
- Compile security configurations into a binary bundle for consumption by NGINX App Protect WAF instances | ||||||
|
||||||
## Architecture | ||||||
|
||||||
As demonstrated in Figure 1, Instance Manager lets you manage security configurations for NGINX App Protect WAF. You can define security policies, upload attack signatures and threat campaign packages, and publish common configurations out to your NGINX App Protect WAF instances. Instance Manager can compile the security configuration into a bundle before pushing the configuration to the NGINX App Protect WAF data plane instances. The NGINX Management Suite Security Monitoring module provides data visualization for NGINX App Protect, so you can monitor, analyze, and refine your policies. | ||||||
