Configure the Splunk Cloud Collector
Set up the Splunk Cloud Collector to continuously ingest security events from Splunk Cloud.
Before you configure the Splunk Cloud Collector, ensure that you complete the Prerequisites to Configure the Splunk Cloud Collector.
Log in to the Exabeam Security Operations Platform with your registered credentials as an administrator.
Navigate to Collectors > Cloud Collectors.
Click New Collector.
Click Splunk.
Enter the following information for the cloud collector:
Name – Specify a name for the Cloud Collector instance.
Account – Select an account. If you have not created a Splunk account, click New Account to add a new Splunk account. You can use this account information across one or more Splunk Cloud Collectors. For more information, see Add Accounts for Splunk Cloud Collector.
Event Type – Select the format in which you want to receive event data. This is a format in which you want your Splunk query to respond.
Plain text – Use the plain text format to ingest a cloud log source that can forward logs in plain text format.
JSON – Use the JSON format to ingest a cloud log source that can forward logs in JSON format, containing single or multiple objects.
Windows Multiline – Use the Windows Multiline format to ingest a cloud log source that can forward logs in Windows Multiline format.
Note
The Splunk Cloud Collector fetches the Splunk metadata fields:
_time
,sourcetype
, andhost
in addition to the_raw
field.Splunk Query – Enter the Splunk query that you use in the Splunk Cloud for fetching data, based on your requirement. Ensure that the Splunk query that you specify suits the event format that you set for receiving data. For example, a Splunk search query: search index=_internal.
Ingest From – Select the time and date to provide a threshold before which the collector will exclude events. If you want to select a threshold to include events to be ingested from the past, select a date previous to the present date. You can select a date which is backdated to 30 days.
If you leave this field blank and do not provide a threshold, all data is ingested starting from when the collector started running. However, the Cloud Collector does not collect historical events.
Note
After you complete the Cloud Collector configuration, you cannot modify the Ingest From date.
Collecting historical events is not supported with Advanced Analytics i62.x or i63.x. For more information see Supported Deployments.
(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.
(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 the events that are going to be ingested via this collector.
To confirm that the Exabeam Security Operations Platform communicates with the service, click Test Connection.
Click Install.
A confirmation message informs you that the new Cloud Collector is created.
