Configure the Workday Cloud Collector

The Workday cloud collector collects user activity logs from the Workday API to identify which specific users are making requests and the nature of the interactions being performed. It also tracks the total volume of these requests with relevant event metadata, including details such as IP addresses and device types.

Use the following steps to configure the Workday cloud collector.

  1. Before you configure the Workday Cloud Collector, ensure that you complete the prerequisites.

  2. Log in to the New-Scale Security Operations Platform with your registered credentials as an administrator.

  3. Navigate to Collectors > Cloud Collectors.

  4. Click New Collector.

  5. Click Workday.

  6. Enter the following information for the cloud collector.

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

    • HOST NAME – Enter the host name that you obtained while completing the prerequisites.

    • TENANT NAME – Enter the tenant name that you obtained while completing the prerequisites.

    • CLIENT ID – Enter client ID that you obtained while completing the prerequisites.

    • CLIENT SECRET – Enter the client secret that you obtained while completing the prerequisites.

    • REFRESH TOKEN – Enter the refresh token value that you obtained while completing prerequisites.

    • INGEST FROM – Select the time and date from which the collector must start ingesting 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.
