Migrate the AWS SQS Cloud Collector

With Exabeam Cloud Collectors, the AWS SQS Cloud Collector is now available for the Exabeam Security Operations Platform. The new cloud collector enables you to ingest logs into the Exabeam Security Operations Platform. Migration to the new app is recommended.

  • License Requirements: No additional license is required. The Cloud Collectors app is included with your existing license.

  • SaaS Cloud Connectors Support: Both the SaaS Cloud Connectors and the new Cloud Collectors environments can run in parallel.

The following table displays the Custom Cloud Connector endpoints that are mapped to the new Cloud Collector AWS SQS.

If you use the authentication type s3-sqs-authn, you must migrate to the AWS account using the Basic authentication method. If you use the authentication type STSAssumeRole, you can migrate to the AWS account using the STSAssumeRole authentication method.

When you are ready to migrate:

  1. Stop the Custom Application Cloud Connector in the Cloud Connectors platform.

  2. Verify the account status. If the account status displays the status as running, wait until the tasks that are running are complete, and the status changes to complete.

  3. Follow the steps to Configure the AWS SQS Cloud Collector.

Supported Data Sources

AWS SQS Cloud Collector supports two types of SQS Queue data source: FIFO and Standard.
