Setup

Vendor configuration

The Automox source requires you to provide the Bearer Token and Organization ID. Follow the below steps to generate the required values:

• To generate the Bearer Token, follow the instructions mentioned in the Automox documentation.
• To generate the Organization ID, follow the instructions mentioned in the Automox documentation.

Source configuration

When you create a Automox Source, you add it to a Hosted Collector. Before creating the Source, identify the Hosted Collector you want to use or create a new Hosted Collector. For instructions, see Create a Hosted Collector.

To configure a Automox Source:

1. Classic UI. In the main Sumo Logic menu, select Manage Data > Collection > Collection.
   New UI. In the Sumo Logic top menu select Configuration, and then under Data Collection select Collection. You can also click the Go To... menu at the top of the screen and select Collection.
2. On the Collectors page, click Add Source next to a Hosted Collector.
3. Search for and select Automox.
4. Enter a Name for the Source. The description is optional.
5. (Optional) For Source Category, enter any string to tag the output collected from the Source. Category metadata is stored in a searchable field called _sourceCategory.
6. (Optional) Fields. Click the +Add link to add custom log metadata Fields.
   • Define the fields you want to associate, each field needs a name (key) and value.
     • A green circle with a check mark is shown when the field exists and is enabled in the Fields table schema.
     • An orange triangle with an exclamation point is shown when the field doesn't exist, or is disabled, in the Fields table schema. In this case, an option to automatically add or enable the nonexistent fields to the Fields table schema is provided. If a field is sent to Sumo that does not exist in the Fields schema or is disabled it is ignored, known as dropped.
7. In Bearer Token, enter the bearer token collected from the Automox platform.
8. In Organization ID, enter the Organization ID collected from the Automox platform.
9. Select the Collect Audit Trail Logs checkbox to collect the audit details.
10. The Audit Trail Logs Interval is set for 5 minutes by default. You can adjust it based on your needs.
11. Select the Collect Events Logs checkbox to collect the event details. Enter the supported events that you want to collect. Leaving this empty will collect all events.
12. The Event Logs Interval is set for 5 minutes by default. You can adjust it based on your needs.
13. Select the Collect Devices checkbox to collect the devices list details.
14. The Devices Logs Interval is set for 12 hours by default. You can adjust it based on your needs.
15. Processing Rules. Configure any desired filters, such as allowlist, denylist, hash, or mask, as described in Create a Processing Rule.
16. When you are finished configuring the Source, click Save.

JSON schema

Sources can be configured using UTF-8 encoded JSON files with the Collector Management API. See Use JSON to configure Sources for details.

Parameter	Type	Value	Required	Description
schemaRef	JSON Object	{"type":"Automox"}	Yes	Define the specific schema type.
sourceType	String	"Universal"	Yes	Type of source.
config	JSON Object	Configuration object	Yes	Source type specific values.

Configuration Object

name	String	Yes	null	Type a desired name of the source. The name must be unique per Collector. This value is assigned to the metadata field _source.	"mySource"
description	String	No	null	Type a description of the source.	"Testing source"
category	String	No	null	Type a category of the source. This value is assigned to the metadata field _sourceCategory. See best practices for details.	"mySource/test"
fields	JSON Object	No	null	JSON map of key-value fields (metadata) to apply to the Collector or Source. Use the boolean field _siemForward to enable forwarding to SIEM.	{"_siemForward": false, "fieldA": "valueA"}
bearerToken	String	Yes	null	The bearer API token created for the account in the Automox console.
orgId	Integer	Yes	null	Specify the organization's ID from which the data needs to be pulled.
