>**NOTE:** This data connector depends on a parser based on a Kusto Function to work as expected [**CiscoACIEvent**](https://aka.ms/sentinel-CiscoACI-parser) which is deployed with the Microsoft Sentinel Solution.
>**NOTE:** This data connector has been developed using Cisco ACI Release 1.x
1. Configure Cisco ACI system sending logs via Syslog to remote server where you will install the agent.
[Follow these steps](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/aci/apic/sw/1-x/basic-config/b_ACI_Config_Guide/b_ACI_Config_Guide_chapter_010.html#d2933e4611a1635) to configure Syslog Destination, Destination Group, and Syslog Source.
2. Install and onboard the agent for Linux or Windows
Install the agent on the Server to which the logs will be forwarded.
> Logs on Linux or Windows servers are collected by **Linux** or **Windows** agents.
Choose where to install the Linux agent:
Install agent on Azure Linux Virtual Machine
Select the machine to install the agent on and then click **Connect**.
Install agent on a non-Azure Linux Machine
Download the agent on the relevant machine and follow the instructions.
Choose where to install the Windows agent:
Install agent on Azure Windows Virtual Machine
Select the machine to install the agent on and then click **Connect**.
Install agent on a non-Azure Windows Machine
Download the agent on the relevant machine and follow the instructions.
