Cloud Sensor Guide

note

The CSE Cloud Sensor has reached end of life and is no longer supported. Please migrate to a Sumo Logic Hosted Collector. For more information, see the end of life notice.

This section has instructions for configuring CSE Cloud Sensor integrations, which allow you to collect log data from a variety of cloud-based applications and storage services.

Cloud Sensor Overview

The CSE Cloud Sensor is a sensor that is hosted by CSE. There are two types of integrations available for the Cloud Sensor:

  • Cloud-based app integrations. These integrations allow you to collect log data from cloud-based apps, for example, Amazon GuardDuty, or Microsoft Office 365. 

  • Cloud-based storage integrations. These integrations allow you to collect log data from AWS S3, AWS SQS, or Microsoft EventHub. This is useful if you forward log data from applications to one of these storage services. 

You configure Cloud Sensor integrations on the edit page for your Cloud Sensor. When you add an integration, you are prompted to supply a number of configuration parameters. For example, when you add integrations for AWS services, you are prompted to supply your AWS access key, secret key, and data that identifies the resources you want to monitor. For an example configuration procedure, see Configure an API integration, below.
