This document explains how to configure the Netskope Cloud Exchange Log Shipper module and required plugins to forward Netskope Cloud Exchange platform logs to a Syslog Server.

Prerequisites

To complete this configuration, you need:

  • A Netskope Tenant (or multiple, for example, production and development/test instances)

  • A Netskope Cloud Exchange tenant with the Log Shipper module already configured.

  • A Syslog Server configured to accept logs from Netskope Cloud Exchange.

Workflow
  1. Configure the Syslog plugin.

  2. Configure the Log Shipper SIEM Mappings for Syslog.

  3. Validate the Syslog plugin.
