Collection configuration and app installation​
Depending on the set up collection method, you can configure and install the app in three ways:
- Create a new collector and install the app. Create a new Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source under a new Sumo Logic Collector and later install the app; Or
- Use an existing collector and install the app. Create a new Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source under an existing Sumo Logic Collector and later install the app; Or
- Use existing source and install the app. Use your existing configured Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source and install the app.
Use the Cloud-to-Cloud Integration for CrowdStrike Spotlight to create the source and use the same source category while installing the app. By following these steps, you can ensure that your CrowdStrike Spotlight app is properly integrated and configured to collect and analyze your CrowdStrike Spotlight data.

Viewing the CrowdStrike Spotlight 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 (
_sourceCategoryby 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.
Overview​
The CrowdStrike Spotlight - Overview dashboard provides security analysts with a comprehensive view of vulnerabilities across the organization's assets. Key panels display active vulnerabilities, closed vulnerabilities, and affected hosts, allowing for quick identification of critical security issues.
The dashboard categorizes vulnerabilities by severity (Critical, High, Medium, and Low), operating system type (Windows and Linux), and internet exposure, helping analysts prioritize threats based on risk factors. Geolocation data highlights the location of the most severe vulnerabilities aiding in threat localization. The panel showing vulnerabilities by remediation level tracks the organization's progress in resolving these issues.
Analysts can also monitor top affected hosts, asset criticality, and vulnerabilities over time to spot trends and potential areas of concern. Additional detailed views provide information on vulnerability remediation actions, pending patches, and asset details, helping teams focus on closing security gaps promptly and efficiently.
