Configure

In this guide, you will configure your Apex Central to forward detection through syslog.

Prerequisites

An internal syslog concentrator is required to collect and forward events to Sekoia.io.

Enable Syslog forwarding

To enable syslog forwarding:

  1. Log to Apex Central
  2. Go to Administration > Settings > Syslog Settings
  3. Select the checkbox Enable syslog forwarding
  4. Provide the IP, listening port and the protocol of our syslog concentrator
  5. Select CEF as the log format
  6. Configure the frequency of the log forwarding
  7. Select the log types to forward according to the list of supported log types:
    • Application Control violations
    • Attack Discovery detections
    • Behavior Monitoring detections
    • C&C Callback
    • Content Violation
    • Data Loss Prevention
    • Device Control violations
    • Suspicious File detections
    • Network Content Inspection
    • Virus/Malware detections
    • Spyware/Grayware detections
    • Predictive Machine Learning detections
    • Virtual Analyzer detections
    • Web Violation
    • Engine Update Status
    • Pattern Update Status
  8. Click Test Connection to validate the configuration
  9. Click Save
