Connector Migration Overview

Previously, cloud-based data collection required the use of Cloud Connectors, which were onboarded through the Exabeam SaaS Cloud Connectors application. Exabeam is now transitioning to the Cloud Collectors service, which is part of the Exabeam Security Operations Platform. This migration process will occur gradually, starting with the most frequently used data sources.

Service Availability

The Cloud Connectors service is available on an on-demand basis. This means that Exabeam offers it as an available service but waits to provision it, until you need to set up a cloud connector. Typically, you will only need the Cloud Collectors service if a connector is not yet available on the New-Scale Cloud Collectors environment or you have a custom configuration. For more information, see Set up a New Cloud Connectors Instance.

New-Scale Cloud Collector Benefits

New-Scale Cloud Collectors service provides the following benefits:

  • Multi-Tenant, Cloud-Native Architecture: Leverages the robust architecture of the Exabeam Security Operations Platform.

  • Simplified Onboarding: Provides a consistent and user-friendly onboarding experience for quick configuration and data collection.

  • Auto-Scaling: Automatically adjusts to varying ingest volumes without manual intervention.

  • No Downtime: Updates can be managed without requiring system downtime.

  • Service Health Monitoring: Offers a comprehensive range of health information to monitor collector activity.
