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

    • Account – Click New Account to add a new Cisco Duo account or select an existing account. You can use the same account information across multiple Cisco Duo cloud collectors. For more information, see Add Accounts for Cisco Duo Cloud Collector.

    • DATA SOURCES – Select the data sources from which you want to collect events: Administrator Logs, Authentication Logs, and Telephony Logs.

      Authentication Logs help you to track place and manner of authentication of users along with usernames, location, time, type of authentication factor and more. Administrator Logs help you to track username, time and type of administrator activity, in addition to groups, user, integration and device management. Telephony Logs provide insights about type of telephony event, phone numbers, and the number of telephony credits used.

  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.
