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. Log in to your Meraki dashboard.

  2. Select the relevant device.

  3. Go to Alerts & Administration.

  4. Scroll down to the Logging section and click Add a syslog server.

  5. Enter the IP address of your Appliance Sensor.

  6. Specify port number 9221.

Remember to define the appropriate roles for the server. Supported roles include Airmarshal, Events, Flows, IDS Alerts, IP flows, Security, and URLs.

The Cisco Meraki documentation is available here.

Open the Port on the XDR Collector Host

Ensure incoming traffic is allowed on UDP port 9221.

Linux
