Configure the AWS Eventbridge Cloud Collector

Set up the AWS Eventbridge Cloud Collector to continuously collect the events that are routed via Amazon EventBridge rules for the selected AWS sources on the configured target SQS queue.

  1. Before you configure the AWS Eventbridge 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 AWS Eventbridge.

  6. Enter the following information for the cloud collector.

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

    • ACCOUNT – Select the AWS account you want to use with this Cloud Collector. If you have not yet created an AWS account, in the Account list, select Create Account. For instructions, see Prerequisites to Configure AWS Eventbridge Cloud Collector.

    • SQS-URL – Enter the SQS URL that you obtained while completing the prerequisites.

    • SQS-REGION – Select the SQS region. For example, us-east-1.

  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.

    A cloud collector determines whether Daylight Saving Time (DST) is active based on the current date and automatically adjusts the time by adding or subtracting one hour, ensuring more accurate time reporting.

  9. To confirm that the New-Scale Security Operations Platform communicates with the service, click Test Connection

  10. Click Install.

    A confirmation message informs you that the new Cloud Collector is created.
