Step 1: Enable console access

  1. Sign in to the Sumo Logic CIP console to create a new user.

  2. Navigate to Administration > Users and Roles > Users and click the Add User button at the top right of the page.

    • Click Add New User.

  4. Verify that Expel SOC now appears on the Users page.

Step 3: Configure the technology in Workbench

Now that we have the correct access configured and noted the credentials, we can integrate your tech with Workbench.

  1. In a new browser tab, log into https://workbench.expel.io.

  2. On the console page, navigate to Settings and click Security Devices.

  3. At the top of the page, click Add Security Device.

    • For Server type the Sumo Logic CSE URL.

    • For API Key type the API Key copied and noted during step 2.

    • For Console Login type the information for user created in step 1.

    • Click Save.

You can see if the device is healthy on the Security Devices page. It may take a few minutes to see the device listed as healthy.

To check if alerts are coming through, navigate to the Alerts Analysis page. Scroll to the device you want to check and click View alerts. Switch to grid view, then check the list for device alerts. It can take 36 to 72 hours for alerts to appear after setup, as we tune your device.
