Collection Agents
The 'Collection Agents' interface allows administrators to download NxSIEM agents for Windows and Linux endpoints, manage agents and configure RSYSLOG software utility for agent-less log collection.
To open the 'Collection Agents' interface, click the 'Navigational Menu' button from the top right, choose 'Agents' and then click 'Collection Agents'.
The 'Collection Agents' interface has three tabs:
- Agent Management – Displays all customer endpoints that have log collection agents installed. Also allows the administrator to manually start and stop agents as required. Refer to the section Managing Agents for more details.
- Agent Dowmload – Enables administrators to download the log collection agent installation files for Windows and Linux endpoints. Refer to the section Downloading NxSIEM Agents for Windows and Linux Endpoints for more details.
- Agentless Collection – Enables administrators to download configuration scripts for the Linux RSYSLOG utility. This will allow you to collect logs from Linux endpoints without installing the collection agent. Refer to the section Agentless Log Collection for more details.
