To collect data from non-Azure VMs, they must have Azure Arc installed and enabled. [Learn more](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/agents/azure-monitor-agent-install?tabs=ARMAgentPowerShell,PowerShellWindows,PowerShellWindowsArc,CLIWindows,CLIWindowsArc)
Common Event Format (CEF) via AMA and Syslog via AMA data connectors must be installed [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/sentinel/connect-cef-ama#open-the-connector-page-and-create-the-dcr)
Instructions du connecteur
Contenu publié dans le dépôt. Consultez le fichier original pour l’ensemble des paramètres.
1. Kindly follow the steps to configure the data connector
Step A. Configure the Common Event Format (CEF) via AMA data connector
_Note:- CEF logs are collected only from Linux Agents_
1. Navigate to Microsoft Sentinel workspace ---> configuration ---> Data connector blade .
2. Search for 'Common Event Format (CEF) via AMA' data connector and open it.
3. Check If there is no existing DCR configured to collect required facility of logs, Create a new DCR (Data Collection Rule)
_Note:- It is recommended to install minimum 1.27 version of AMA agent [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/agents/azure-monitor-agent-manage?tabs=azure-portal ) and ensure there is no duplicate DCR as it can cause log duplicacy_
4. Run the command provided in the CEF via AMA data connector page to configure the CEF collector on the machine
Step B. Forward Common Event Format (CEF) logs to Syslog agent
Configure F5 to forward Syslog messages in CEF format to your Microsoft Sentinel workspace via the Syslog agent.
Go to [F5 Configuring Application Security Event Logging](https://aka.ms/asi-syslog-f5-forwarding), follow the instructions to set up remote logging, using the following guidelines:
1. Set the **Remote storage type** to CEF.
2. Set the **Protocol setting** to UDP.
3. Set the **IP address** to the Syslog server IP address.
4. Set the **port number** to 514, or the port your agent uses.
5. Set the **facility** to the one that you configured in the Syslog agent (by default, the agent sets this to local4).
6. You can set the **Maximum Query String Size** to be the same as you configured.
Step C. Validate connection
Follow the instructions to validate your connectivity:
Open Log Analytics to check if the logs are received using the CommonSecurityLog schema.
It may take about 20 minutes until the connection streams data to your workspace.
If the logs are not received, run the following connectivity validation script:
1. Make sure that you have Python on your machine using the following command: python -version
2. You must have elevated permissions (sudo) on your machine
Run the following command to validate your connectivity:
2. Secure your machine
Make sure to configure the machine's security according to your organization's security policy
