This pack includes Cortex XSIAM content.

Configuration on Server Side

To configure IBM Guardium to forward logs to Cortex XSIAM Broker VM via syslog follow the steps below.

Log in to the CLI and define the IP address for Cortex XSIAM Broker VM.
Use SSH to log in to IBM as default user.
Username: <user name\>
Password: <password\>
Type the following command to configure the syslog destination for:

Event Type	Command
`informational events`	store remote add daemon.info <IP address\>:<port\> <tcp\|udp\>
`warning events`	store remote add daemon.warning <IP address\>:<port\> <tcp\|udp\>
`error events`	store remote add daemon.err <IP address\>:<port\> <tcp\|udp\>
`alert events`	store remote add daemon.alert <IP address\>:<port\> <tcp\|udp\>

IP address - IP address of the event collector

port - syslog port used to communicate to the event collector (default port in Guardium is 514 UDP)

tcp\ udp - protocol used to communicate with the event collector

For example:

    store remote log add daemon.all <IP> udp

    store remote log add daemon.all example.com:1514 tcp

Policies in IBM Guardium are responsible for reacting to events and forwarding the event information to Cortex XSIAM Broker VM.
