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

  • To add a Syslog server to the WatchGuard Firewall, follow the steps in the Watchguard documentation.
  • When entering the necessary information for each syslog server that is added, make sure that the port is pointing to 9270, not to the default port that is mentioned in the documentation.

Open the Port on the XDR Collector Host

Ensure incoming traffic is allowed on UDP port 9270.

Linux

sudo ufw allow 9270/udp

Windows

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="WatchGuard Events" dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP localport=9270
