Migrate the Azure Event Hub Cloud Collector

The Azure Event Hub Cloud Collector enables you to ingest logs into the Exabeam Security Operations Platform. If you previously used the early access Azure Cloud Connector and want to take advantage of the Cloud Collectors service, you must first migrate the SaaS cloud connector. Migration to the app in Cloud Collectors is recommended. Before you migrate, consider the following:

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

  • Required Azure Subscriptions: The following table displays minimum Azure subscriptions required per feature.

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

The following table displays that the Azure Cloud Connector's endpoint is mapped to the new Cloud Collector Azure Event Hub.

When you are ready to migrate:

  1. Stop the specific endpoint for the Azure Cloud Connector. For example, EventHub - [Namespace: myNamespace ; EventHub name: myEventHub]

  2. Wait for the running tasks to complete. The user interface indicates the time required for task completion.

  3. Follow the steps to Configure the Azure Event Hub Cloud Collector.

  4. Use the same consumer group name that you used for the Azure Cloud Connector, while configuring the Azure Event Hub Cloud Collector.
