Configure the Abnormal Cloud Collector

Set up the Abnormal Security Cloud Collector to continuously ingest events from Abnormal Security data sources: cases and threats.

  1. Before you configure the Abnormal Security Cloud Collector, ensure that you complete the prerequisites.

  2. Log in to the Exabeam Security Operations Platform with your registered credentials as an administrator.

  3. Navigate to Collectors > Cloud Collectors.

  4. Click New Collector.

  5. Click Abnormal Security.

  6. Enter the following information for the cloud collector.

    • NAME – Specify a name for the Cloud Collector instance.

    • ATHENTICATION TOKEN – Enter the value for the API token that you obtained while completing the prerequisites.

    • API URL – Select the API URL based on the API endpoint for your region.

      • API URL for the region EU: https://eu.rest.abnormalsecurity.com

      • API URL for regions other than EU: https://api.abnormalplatform.com

    • DATA SOURCES – Select the data sources supported by Abnormal Security from which you want the cloud collector to fetch data: Cases or Threats.

      • Cases – Select this data source to get a list of Abnormal cases identified by Abnormal Security.

      • Threats – Select this data source to get a list of threats identified in Threat Log.

    • INGEST FROM – Select the date and time from which the collector must start ingesting events. This date and time also provides a threshold before which the collector will exclude events. If you leave this field blank and do not provide a threshold, all logs are ingested.

  7. (Optional) SITE – Select an existing site or to create a new site with a unique ID, click manage your sites. Adding a site name helps you to ensure efficient management of environments with overlapping IP addresses.

    By entering a site name, you associate the logs with a specific independent site. A sitename metadata field is automatically added to all the events that are going to be ingested via this collector. For more information about Site Management, see Define a Unique Site Name.

  8. (Optional) TIMEZONE – Select a time zone applicable to you for accurate detections and event monitoring.

    By entering a time zone, you override the default log time zone. A timezone metadata field is automatically added to all events ingested through this collector.
