Modify a Site Collector Instance
In the Site Collector Instances section, in addition to viewing the Site Collector instance name and version, number of nodes and collectors, total logs, status, and support package, you can modify the configuration of a Site Collector instance by clicking the Site Collector instance or Edit configuration.
To modify the configuration of a Site Collector instance:
On the Exabeam Security Operations Platform home page, click the Collectors tile.
Click Site Collectors.
On Site Collector Instances, click the Site Collector instance of which you want to edit the configuration. Or, click Edit Configuration for the instance.
Edit the Site Collector instance name, and enter a site name and set a time zone for the Site Collector instance.
Site Name (Optional) – 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. If you have a multi-tenant system, you can use Site Name to differentiate between tenants.
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.
Timezone (Optional) – Select a time zone applicable to you. By entering a time zone, you override the default UTC time zone. The time zone that you set is used for converting the timestamps on the logs.
In the Conditions section, Add Filters to Set Egress Log Filtering Conditions.
Click Apply.
The changes are applied to the Site Collector instance.
Search Logs for Site Collector Instances
Using Exabeam Search, you can search for specific events in the log repository and access all your logs and filter the logs based on your requirement. You can navigate via Site Collectors to Exabeam Search to quickly find relevant logs and events to detect threats.
With the Open in Search option, you can open Search application in a new tab to view a prepopulated Search query that displays details of logs related to the selected Site Collector instance. Customizing the search query by adding parameters and selecting a timeframe gives you the flexibility to filter logs. This helps you easily find the specific event details for a particular Site Collector instance.
The following metadata fields are automatically parsed by the Search service. You can use these fields while searching for specific logs based on your requirement.
