LCP Configuration Parameters
Table 1-2: The Forcepoint DLP event collector (Syslog - 3945) sensor properties to be configured by MDR are shown in the table.
Property | Default Value | Description |
Protocol | UDP | The default protocol for syslog. The collector can also accept logs in TCP. Note: While TCP offers guaranteed delivery of log packets, it places a larger overhead on the LCP. To balance TCP for reliability over UDP for speed/simplicity, contact the Accenture Security MDR onboarding team. |
IP Address | Custom value | Logging device IP address mentioned in the Pre-Installation Questionnaire (PIQ). Note: If the device sends logs using multiple interfaces, contact the Accenture Security MDR onboarding team. |
Signatures | |Forcepoint DLP| | MDR recommended signatures processed by the Forcepoint DLP collector. |
Port Number | 514 | The default port number for syslog. For TCP, the default port is 601. Note: The LCP can be configured to listen on a non-standard port, please advise the Accenture Security MDR onboarding team if this is a requirement. |
