Collecting AirWatch Events

AirWatch supports sending events to syslog. For Sumo Logic to receive AirWatch events, you must create a cloud syslog in Sumo Logic. This section shows you how to do the following:

1. Configure cloud syslog in Sumo Logic.
2. Integrate AirWatch and configure syslog.

Step 1. Configure cloud syslog in Sumo Logic

To configure cloud syslog in Sumo Logic, follow the instructions on this page.

After a cloud syslog is configured, the following values are available:

• Token 
• Host 
• TCP TLS Port

These three values–shown on the Cloud Syslog Source dialog–are used to configure syslog integration in AirWatch. 

note

During syslog configuration in AirWatch, you can choose to send Console events, Device events, or both. Any events generated by the AirWatch Console are sent to Sumo Logic.

Step 2. Integrate AirWatch and configure syslog

This section shows you how to integrate AirWatch with Sumo Logic and configure syslog. During the syslog configuration process you can specify the events to be sent to Sumo Logic. You can choose to send Console events, Device events, or both.

To enable integration and configure syslog, do the following:

1. Log in to your AirWatch account.

2. Navigate to Monitor > Reports and Analytics > Events > Syslog.

   

3. Select Enabled on the Syslog dialog.

   

4. Specify the following options in the Syslog dialog:

   Setting	Description	Sumo Logic Specific Value
   Syslog Integration	Enable/Disable	Enable
   Host Name	Host Name of Cloud Syslog	Host Name of the Sumo Logic Cloud Syslog: syslog.collection.us1.sumologic.com
   Protocol	UDP, TCP, Secure TCP	A secure TCP is required for Sumo Logic
   Port	Port number	6514
   Syslog Facility	Roughly suggests from what part of a system a message originated, and can help distinguish different classes of messages.	Optional, or as required
   Message Tag	Enter a descriptive tag to identify events from the AirWatch Console in the Message Tag field.	Optional, or as required
   Message Content	Enter the data to include in the transmission in the Message Content field. Note: Paste the Sumo Logic Token in the message field as highlighted in next column.	AirWatch Syslog Details are as follows: Event Type: {EventType} Event: {Event} User: {User} Event Source: {EventSource} Event Module: {EventModule} Event Category: {EventCategory} Event Data: {EventData} 7SarExampleSumoLogicToken+57f7ZDzI4aDN29uOy0vPj6x9z6tkwH6KBtS@41123

5. Click the Advanced tab, and configure the following settings.

   Setting	Description
   Console Events	Select whether to enable or disable the reporting of Console events.
   Select Console Events to Send to Syslog	For each subheading, select the specific events that you want to trigger a message to syslog.
