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 MDR onboarding team.

IP Address

IP address of the Palo Alto Traps

Logging device IP address mentioned in the Pre-Installation Questionnaire (PIQ).

Note: If the device sends logs using multiple interfaces, contact the MDR onboarding team.

Signatures

|Traps Agent|

MDR recommended signatures processed by the  Palo Alto Traps collector.

Port Number

514

The default port for UDP. For TCP, the default port is 601.

Note: The LCP can be configured to listen on a non-standard port, please advise the Accenture MDR onboarding team if this is a requirement.
