Exabeam Site Collector Network Ports

Apply the port configurations that match your deployment. These ports are required for the Exabeam Site Collector to operate correctly. In addition, communications for deployment-specific scenarios must also be allowed.

When you whitelist a syslog source, you may need to refer to the Exabeam Site Collector's certificate authority. You can whitelist Transport Layer Security (TLS) syslogs as a source that can be whitelisted. For more information on configuring , see Configure Transport Layer Security (TLS) Syslog Ingestion.
