Digital Guardian Source

Digital Guardian is a data protection platform that discovers, classifies, and controls data movement across endpoints, networks, and the cloud. Digital Guardian Analytics and Reporting Cloud (DG ARC) is an advanced analytics, workflow, and reporting cloud service that delivers no-compromise data protection.

The Digital Guardian integration ingests the export data using the Export API and uses Acknowledge API to advance the bookmark value to obtain the next chunk of data from export endpoint.

Setup

Vendor configuration

The Digital Guardian source requires you to provide the Digital Guardian Base URL (API Gateway URL), Authentication Server URL, Client ID, Client Secret, and Profile to export to configure the source. Follow the below steps to generate the required values:

1. From the ARC Tenant Settings, copy and save the Tenant ID (API Client ID) and Authentication Token (API Secret).
2. From the Digital Guardian Management Console (DGMC), copy the Access Gateway Base URL (API Gateway URL) and Authorization server URL.
3. To copy ARC Export Profile ID:
   1. Navigate to Admin > reports > export profiles.
   2. Copy only the GUID part from the export profile.

Source configuration

When you create a Digital Guardian Source, you add it to a Hosted Collector. Before creating the Source, identify the Hosted Collector you want to use or create a new Hosted Collector. For instructions, see Configure a Hosted Collector and Source.

To configure Digital Guardian Source:

1. Classic UI. In the main Sumo Logic menu, select Manage Data > Collection > Collection.
   New UI. In the Sumo Logic top menu select Configuration, and then under Data Collection select Collection. You can also click the Go To... menu at the top of the screen and select Collection.
2. On the Collectors page, click Add Source next to a Hosted Collector.
3. Search for and select the Digital Guardian icon.
4. Enter a Name to display for the Source in Sumo Logic. The description is optional.
5. (Optional) For Source Category, enter any string to tag the output collected from the Source. Category metadata is stored in a searchable field called _sourceCategory.
6. (Optional) Fields. Click the +Add Field link to define the fields you want to associate. Each field needs a name (key) and value.
   •  A green circle with a check mark is shown when the field exists in the Fields table schema.
   •  An orange triangle with an exclamation point is shown when the field doesn't exist in the Fields table schema. In this case, an option to automatically add the nonexistent fields to the Fields table schema is provided. If a field is sent to Sumo Logic that does not exist in the Fields schema it is ignored, known as dropped.
7. In API Gateway URL, enter the API Gateway URL of your account.
8. In Authorization Server URL, enter the Authorization Server URL of your account.
9. In API Client ID, enter the API Client ID you generated from the Digital Guardian platform.
10. In API Secret, enter the API Secret you generated from the Digital Guardian platform.
11. In Export Profile, enter the name of the profile that needs to be exported.
12. The Polling Interval is set for 5 minutes hours by default. You can adjust it based on your needs.
13. When you are finished configuring the Source, click Save.
