Use the following steps to set up the Symantec Cloud Secure Web Gateway Cloud Collector.

  1. Before you configure the Symantec Cloud Secure Web Gateway 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 Symantec Cloud Secure Web Gateway.

  6. Enter the following information for the cloud collector.

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

    • USERNAME – Enter the value for the API username that you obtained while completing prerequisites.

    • Password – Enter the value for the API password that you obtained while completing prerequisites.

      Note

      For more information about Symantec SWG log events, see the Understand Symantec SWG Log Events section in prerequisites.

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

  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.
