titleCloud collector

We use a piece of software called Collector Server to host and manage all our available collectors. If you want us to host this collector for you, get in touch with us and we will guide you through the configuration.

Rw tab
titleOn-premise collector

This data collector can be run in any machine that has the Docker service available because it should be executed as a docker container. The following sections explain how to prepare all the required setup for having the data collector running.

Structure

The following directory structure should be created for being used when running the Office 365 Exchange Message Tracing collector:

Code Block
<any_directory>
└── devo-collectors/
    └── devo-collector-office365tracing/
          ├── certs/
          │ ├── chain.crt
          │ ├── <your_domain>.key
          │ └── <your_domain>.crt
          └── config/
              └── config-office365tracing.yaml

Devo credentials

In Devo, go to Administration → Credentials → X.509 Certificates, download the Certificate, Private key and Chain CA and save them in devo-collectors-office365tracing/certs/. Learn more about security credentials in Devo here.

Editing the config.yaml file

Code Block
globals:
  debug: true
  id: <collector_id>
  name: <collector_name>
  persistence:
    type: filesystem
    config:
      directory_name: state
  multiprocessing: <multiprocessing_mode>

outputs:
  devo_1:
    type: devo_platform
    config:
      address: <devo_address>
      port: 443
      type: SSL
      chain: <chain_filename>
      cert: <cert_filename>
      key: <key_filename>

        reset_persistence_auth: <reset_persistence_auth>
        override_time_delay_in_hours: <delay_in_hours>

Replace these placeholders with the required values:

Parameter

Data type

Type

Value range

Details

cert_filename

str

Mandatory

Minimum length: 4
Maximum length: 20

Use this param to identify the file.cert downloaded from your Devo domain.

chain_filename

str

Mandatory

Minimum length: 4
Maximum length: 20

Use this param to identify the certificate file downloaded from your Devo domain. Usually, this file's name is chain.crt

collector_id

int

Mandatory

Minimum length: 1
Maximum length: 5

Use this param to give a unique ID to this collector.

collector_name

str

Mandatory

Minimum length: 1
Maximum length: 10

Use this param to give a valid name to this collector.

creds_password

str

Mandatory

Any

Password to authenticate to the service.

creds_username

str

Mandatory

Email format: username@domain.com

Username to authenticate to the service.

delay_in_hours

int

Optional

Minimum value: 1
Maximum value: 48

Because it can take up to 24 hours for an event to be available through the API, this collector requests data with a 25-hour delay. This parameter allows you to customize this delay.

A value less than 25 hours could cause the loss of events in large infrastructures.

This parameter can be left blank, removed, or commented.

devo_address

str

Mandatory

collector-us.devo.io
collector-eu.devo.io

Use this param to identify the Devo Cloud where the events will be sent.

input_id

int

Mandatory

Minimum length: 1
Maximum length: 5

Use this param to give a unique ID to this input service.

input_status

bool

Mandatory

false / true

If the value is true, the input definition will be executed. If the value is false, the service will be ignored.

key_filename

str

Mandatory

Minimum length: 4
Maximum length: 20

Use this param to identify the file.key downloaded from your Devo domain.

period_in_seconds

int

Optional

Minimum length: 1

By default, this service will run every 60 seconds. This parameter allows you to customize this behavior.

This parameter can be left blank, removed, or commented.

requests_per_second

int

Optional

Minimum value: 1

Customize the maximum number of API requests per second. If not used, the default setting will be used: 100000 requests/sec

This parameter can be left blank, removed, or commented.

reset_persistence_auth

int

Optional

Date format: YYYY-MM-DD

This parameter allows you to clear the persistence of the collector and restart the download pipeline.

Updating this value will produce the loss of all persisted data and current pipelines.

This parameter can be left blank, removed, or commented.

Download the Docker image

The collector should be deployed as a Docker container. Download the Docker image of the collector as a .tgz file by clicking the link in the following table:

Collector Docker image

SHA-256 hash

collector-office365tracing-docker-image-1.23.10.tgz

aaeb75e21944c2072abd6e82db0ec85f75f278a51a0280526f7775b03e2d3f9177414d74493a34a45ef37afcb098a8f56ab26e8577978cf3d2086901aa30774b

Code Block
gunzip -c collector-office365tracing-docker-image-<version>.tgz | docker load
Info

Once the Docker image is imported, it will show the real name of the Docker image (including version info). Replace "<version>" with a proper value.

Docker

Execute the following command on the root directory <any_directory>/devo-collectors/office365tracing/

Code Block
docker run \
--name collector-office365tracing\
--volume $PWD/certs:/devo-collector/certs \
--volume $PWD/config:/devo-collector/config \
--volume $PWD/state:/devo-collector/state \
--env CONFIG_FILE=config-office365tracing.yaml \
--rm -it docker.devo.internal/collector/office365tracing:<version>
Note

Replace <version> with a proper value.

Docker Compose

The following Docker Compose file can be used to execute the Docker container. It must be created in the <any_directory>/devo-collectors/office365tracing/ directory.

Code Block
version: '3'
services:
  collector-office365tracing:
    image: docker.devo.com/collector/office365tracing:${IMAGE_VERSION:-latest}
    volumes:
      - ./certs:/devo-collector/certs
      - ./config:/devo-collector/config
      - ./state:/devo-collector/state
    environment:
      - CONFIG_FILE=${CONFIG_FILE:-config-office365tracing.yaml}

To run the container using docker-compose, execute the following command from the <any_directory>/devo-collectors/office365tracing/ directory:

Code Block
IMAGE_VERSION=<version> docker-compose up -d
Note

Replace <version> with a proper value.
