The Sumo Logic App for Armis offers enhanced visibility into both alerts and device data, making it easier to monitor and manage your device security. The app features dashboards that analyze alerts by severity, status, and type, providing a clear picture of the trend of alerts over time. Additionally, the app allows you to monitor devices by risk level, type, and category, and provides a table view of the latest devices with key information to keep your IT infrastructure secure.

Log types

The Sumo Logic App for Armis gathers log information from the following two sources.

Alerts. These are notifications or warnings generated when a potential security threat is detected. The alerts provide information about the type of threat, its severity, and other relevant details.

Collecting logs for Armis API

This section explains how to collect logs from Armis API and ingest them into Sumo Logic. Refer to the Armis API Cloud-to-Cloud Integration to create the source and use the same source category while installing the app.

Installing the Armis app

To install the app, do the following:

  1. Select App Catalog.
  2. In the 🔎 Search Apps field, run a search for your desired app, then select it.
  3. Click Install App.
    note

    Sometimes this button says Add Integration.

  4. Click Next in the Setup Data section.
  5. In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
    1. Key. Select either of these options for the data source.
      • Choose Source Category and select a source category from the list for Default Value.
      • Choose Custom, and enter a custom metadata field. Insert its value in Default Value.
  6. Click Next. You will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.

Post-installation

Once your app is installed, it will appear in your Installed Apps folder, and dashboard panels will start to fill automatically.

Each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results will not immediately be available, but will update with full graphs and charts over time.

Viewing the Armis dashboards

All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.

  • You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
  • You can use template variables to drill down and examine the data on a granular level. For more information, see Filtering Dashboards with Template Variables.
  • Most Next-Gen apps allow you to provide the scope at the installation time and are comprised of a key (_sourceCategory by default) and a default value for this key. Based on your input, the app dashboards will be parameterized with a dashboard variable, allowing you to change the dataset queried by all panels. This eliminates the need to create multiple copies of the same dashboard with different queries.
