Set up collection

To set up Cloud to Cloud Integration Tenable Source for the Tenable app, follow the instructions provided. These instructions will guide you through the process of creating a source using the Tenable source category, which you will need to use when installing the app. By following these steps, you can ensure that your Tenable app is properly integrated and configured to collect and analyze your Tenable data.

Installing the Tenable app​

This section has instructions for installing the Symantec Web Security Service App for Sumo Logic.

To install the app:

1. From the Sumo Logic nav, select App Catalog.
2. Search for and select your app.
   
3. (Optional) To see a preview of the dashboards included with the app, scroll down to the Dashboard Preview section.
4. If the app has multiple versions - not all apps do - select the version of the service you're using, then click Add Integration.
5. 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.
6. Click Next.
7. You'll see a dialog confirming that the app was installed successfully.
   

Once an app is installed, it will appear in your Personal folder, or other folder that you specified. From here, you can share it with your organization.

Panels will start to fill automatically. It's important to note that each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results won't be available immediately, but within 20 minutes, you'll see full graphs and maps.

Viewing Tenable dashboards​

All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.

• You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
• If required, configure the refresh interval rate for a dashboard or panel by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the refresh icon.
• Click the funnel icon in the dashboard top menu bar to filter dashboard with Template Variables.
