Configure the Box Cloud Collector

Set up the Box Cloud Collector to continuously ingest user events and enterprise events from Box to monitor any actions performed by any user, users, or service in an enterprise. The event types that are ingested include MetaModelConsts.Events.USER_ADDED, MetaModelConsts.Events.USER_DELETED, and MetaModelConsts.Events.USER_UPDATED.

  1. Before you configure the Box 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 Box.

  6. Enter the following information for the cloud collector.

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

    • JSON Configuration – Paste the data that you copied from the JSON configuration file that you obtained while completing the prerequisites.

    • 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.
