Collecting Logs

This section provides instructions for configuring log collection for the PCI Compliance for Windows Legacy App.

Configure a Collector and a Source

To configure a collector and source, do the following:

1. Configure an Installed Windows collector through the user interface or from the command line.
2. Configure either a local or remote Windows Event Log source. To configure a Windows Event Log source set the following:
   • Event Format. Select Collect using legacy format. Events retain their default text format from Windows.

For more information on local or remote Windows Event Log Source configuration, refer to Local Windows Event Log Source and Remote Windows Event Log Source.

Make sure to set the Source Category when configuring the Windows Event Log source. For example: OS/Windows/Events.

Installing the PCI Compliance for Windows Legacy App

This section provides instructions for installing the PCI Compliance for Windows Legacy App, along with examples of each of the App dashboards. The PCI Compliance for Windows Legacy App offers pre-built dashboards and queries to help you track your Windows system, user accounts, login activity, and Windows updates.

Now that you have set up collection, install the Sumo Logic App for PCI Compliance for Windows Legacy App to use the pre-configured searches and dashboards that provide insight into your data.

To install the app:

1. From the Sumo Logic navigation, select App Catalog.
2. In the Search Apps field, search for and then select your app.
3. Optionally, you can scroll down to preview the dashboards included with the app. Then, click Install App (sometimes this button says Add Integration).
   note

   If your app has multiple versions, you'll need to select the version of the service you're using before installation.

4. On the next configuration page, under Select Data Source for your App, complete the following fields:
   • Data Source. Select one of the following options:
     • Choose Source Category and select a source category from the list; or
     • Choose Enter a Custom Data Filter, and enter a custom source category beginning with an underscore. For example, _sourceCategory=MyCategory.
   • Folder Name. You can retain the existing name or enter a custom name of your choice for the app.
   • All Folders (optional). Default location is the Personal folder in your Library. If desired, you can choose a different location and/or click New Folder to add it to a new folder.
5. Click Next.
6. Look for the dialog confirming that your app was installed successfully.
   

Once an app is installed, it will appear in your Personal folder or the folder that you specified. From here, you can share it with other users in your organization. Dashboard panels will automatically start to fill with data matching the time range query received since you created the panel. Results won't be available immediately, but within about 20 minutes, you'll see completed graphs and maps.
