Using Fortanix DSM with Sumo Logic (SIEM) Integration Guide for Linux Server

1.0 Introduction 

This document describes how to integrate Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) with Sumo Logic (SIEM) on Linux Server. 

2.0 Terminology

• DSM – Data Security Manager 

Data Security Manager is the cloud solution secured with Intel® SGX. With Fortanix DSM, you can securely generate, store, and use cryptographic keys and certificates, as well as secrets, such as passwords, API keys, tokens, or any blob of data. 

• Sumo Logic 

Sumo Logic is a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that provides security analysts with enhanced visibility across the enterprise to thoroughly understand the impact and context of an attack. Sumo Logic offers streamlined workflows that automatically triage alerts to maximize security analyst efficiency and focus. 

3.0 Download and Install Sumo Logic Collector in Linux 

3.1 System Requirements

 System requirements for Linux: 

• Linux, major distributions 64-bit, or any generic Unix capable of running Java 1.8
• Single core, 512MB RAM
• 8GB disk space
• Package installers require TLS 1.2 or higher

3.2 Download the Collector 

Download the collector in one of the following ways:  

• In Sumo Logic, select Manage Data -> Collection -> Collection. Click Add Collector, click Installed Collector, and then click the link for the collector to begin the download. 
• Open a browser and enter the static URL for your pod. The collector begins to download. See Download a Collector from a Static URL for a list of URLs for your deployment pod.

Fortanix recommends using the collector manually by downloading the .sh installation file corresponding to your endpoint. For example, for downloading the collector for Linux 64 bit, use the link:
https://collectors.in.sumologic.com/rest/download/linux/64

Run the following command:

ubuntu@sumologictest:~$ sudo wget https://collectors.in.sumologic.com/rest/download/linux/64
