title	Cloud collector

We use a piece of software called Collector Server to host and manage all our available collectors.

To enable the collector for a customer:

In the Collector Server GUI, access the domain in which you want this instance to be created
Click Add Collector and find the one you wish to add.
In the Version field, select the latest value.
In the Collector Name field, set the value you prefer (this name must be unique inside the same Collector Server domain).
In the sending method select Direct Send. Direct Send configuration is optional for collectors that create Table events, but mandatory for those that create Lookups.
In the Parameters section, establish the Collector Parameters as follows below:

Info
All defined service entities will be executed by the collector. If you do not want to run any of them, just remove the entity from the `services` object.

Please replace the placeholders with real world values following the description table below:

Parameter

Data Type

Type

Value Range / Format

Details

debug_status

bool

Mandatory

false / true

If the value is true, the debug logging traces will be enabled when running the collector. If the value is false, only the info, warning and error logging levels will be printed.

short_unique_id

int

Mandatory

Minimum length: 1
Maximum length: 5

Use this param to give an unique id to this input service.

Note
This parameter is used to build the persistence address, do not use the same value for multiple collectors. It could cause a collision.

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.

requests_per_second_value

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 should be removed if it is not used.

url_value

str

Mandatory

The URL must comply with the following format:

https://api.recordedfuture.com/v2/{0}/risklist?format=csv/splunk

Use this param to define the URL used by the collector to pull data.

Take into account that {0} is a placeholder for data type.

This parameter is used for ip, hash, domain, url and vulnerability data sources.

api_token_value

str

Mandatory

Minimum length: 1

Set up here your access token provided by Recorded Future.

list_of_sources

array

Mandatory

Minimum data sources: 1

This configuration allows you to define what data sources will be pulled.

Keep in mind that each data source has different refresh times associated with it:

ip → 1 hour
hash → 1 day
domain -> 2 hours
url -> 1 day
vulnerability -> 1 day
PublicUkraineRussiaIps -> 1 hour

How to pull all available data sources:
For pulling all available data sources you just need to define the array as follows:

Code Block
[ "ip", "hash", "domain", "url", "vulnerability", "PublicUkraineRussiaIps" ]

How to pull specific data sources:
For pulling a specific list of sources, you just need to remove them from the previous one and define those that you need. For example to pull pull hash and PublicUkraineRussiaIps sources you can define the array as follows:

Code Block
[ "hash", "PublicUkraineRussiaIps" ]

title	On-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 collector:

Code Block

<any_directory>
└── devo-collectors/
    └── <product_name>/
        ├── certs/
        │   ├── chain.crt
        │   ├── <your_domain>.key
        │   └── <your_domain>.crt
        ├── state/
        └── config/ 
            └── config.yaml

Note
Replace `<product_name>` with the proper value.

Devo credentials

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

Note
Replace `<product_name>` with the proper value.

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-recorded_future_if-docker-image-1.4.0	`68afa0503aadd94429a7f5371eec229e8235e10fe0f7e5018843c5a787e05797`

Use the following command to add the Docker image to the system:

Code Block
gunzip -c <image_file>-<version>.tgz \| docker load

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

The Docker image can be deployed on the following services:

Docker

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

Code Block

docker run 
--name collector-<product_name> 
--volume $PWD/certs:/devo-collector/certs 
--volume $PWD/config:/devo-collector/config 
--volume $PWD/state:/devo-collector/state 
--env CONFIG_FILE=config.yaml 
--rm 
--interactive 
--tty 
<image_name>:<version>

Note
Replace `<product_name>`, `<image_name>` and `<version>` with the proper values.

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/<product_name>/ directory.

Code Block

version: '3'
services:
  collector-<product_name>:
    image: <image_name>:${IMAGE_VERSION:-latest}
    container_name: collector-<product_name>
    volumes:
      - ./certs:/devo-collector/certs
      - ./config:/devo-collector/config
      - ./credentials:/devo-collector/credentials
      - ./state:/devo-collector/state
    environment:
      - CONFIG_FILE=${CONFIG_FILE:-config.yaml}

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

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

Note
Replace `<product_name>`, `<image_name>` and `<version>` with the proper values.
