Here you will find the steps to filter this type of event:

Action

Steps

1

Activate Security Command Center service

Info

When SCC is activated, the events will go directly through the Logging service to the default sink. The following steps are optional but recommended to filter SCC events on another Pub/Sub.

In order to receive this type of event, it is necessary to have the Security Command Center service activated.

Refer to the Security Command Center Quickstart video from the Google guide.

2

Setting up a new topic

Refer to the Configuration of the Loggingsection to know how to do it.

3

Setting up a Pub/Sub

Refer to the Configuration of the Loggingsection to know how to do it.

4

Setting up a sink

Refer to the Configuration of the Loggingsection to know how to do it.

Once the data source is configured, you can either send us the required information if you want us to host and manage the collector for you (Cloud collector), or deploy and host the collector in your own machine using a Docker image (On-premise collector).

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 collector:

Code Block
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:

  1. In the Collector Server GUI, access the domain in which you want this instance to be created

  2. Click Add Collector and find the one you wish to add.

  3. In the Version field, select the latest value.

  4. In the Collector Name field, set the value you prefer (this name must be unique inside the same Collector Server domain).

  5. 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.

  6. In the Parameters section, establish the Collector Parameters as follows below:
