Install the XDR Collector

When collecting logs from one or more integrated data sources, always set up the XDR Collector on a dedicated host server. Don't use an existing server because the amount of data produced by logs can impact critical infrastructure.

Configure the Firewall

  1. Go to System Services > Log settings and click Add.

  2. Enter a name.

  3. Specify the settings.

    Your Syslog server must use port 9208.

  5. Click Save.

  6. Go to Log settings and select the logs you want to send to the syslog server.

For more information, see the Sophos Firewall Documentation.
