Set up collection
To set up the Webex Cloud-to-Cloud Integration for the Webex app, follow the instructions provided here. These instructions will guide you through the process of creating a source using the Webex Source category, which you will need to use when installing the app. By following these steps, you can ensure that your Webex app is properly integrated and configured to collect and analyze your Webex data.
Installing the Webex app
This section has instructions for installing the Webex app for Sumo Logic and descriptions of each of the dashboards.
To install the app, do the following:
- Select App Catalog.
- In the 🔎 Search Apps field, run a search for your desired app, then select it.
- Click Install App.
note
Sometimes this button says Add Integration.
- Click Next in the Setup Data section.
- In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
- 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.
- Key. Select either of these options for the data source.
- 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 Webex 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.
Overview
The Webex - Overview dashboard provides a holistic view of all critical activities within the Webex environment. It summarizes total audit events, device creation, deletion, reboot status, and user management activities including creation, deletion, and updates. The dashboard categorizes events by type, user agent, and administrator actions, displaying trends over time and geographical locations of events. It includes a section for recent events, highlighting the immediate actions taken within the system. This dashboard aids administrators in maintaining an overview of operational status and identifying any anomalies or unusual activities promptly.
Security Events
The Webex - Security Events dashboard in Sumo Logic offers a detailed view of security-related activities within the Webex environment. It tracks changes in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) status, remote access events, login activities, and authorization events over time. The dashboard includes sections for recent login and authorization code events, recent deactivated and reactivated users, and activities on allow and deny lists. Additionally, it provides insights into external admin additions and accounts assigned to external users.
