The Files.com integration with Sumo Logic transfers Files.com log files into your Sumo Logic environment using Sumo Logic's cloud-hosted HTTP Logs and Metrics collector. Your data stays current and available for near real-time analysis.

You can send several types of log data directly to Sumo Logic, making Files.com a data source for your Sumo Logic dashboards and reports.

Getting Started With Sumo Logic Integration

To forward logs using Sumo Logic's HTTP Logs and Metrics Source, configure Files.com to send log data to the Sumo Logic HTTP Logs endpoint.

Start by setting up an HTTP Logs and Metrics Source in Sumo Logic to obtain the HTTP Source Address, which also contains the token.

On Sumo Logic's Collection screen, add a Collector and choose Hosted Collector as the Collector Type when prompted. Follow the instructions with the default options selected to complete the rest of the configuration. Once the hosted collector is added, you will receive an HTTP Source Address.

Configuring Files.com for Sumo Logic Integration

Use the HTTP Source Address URL provided by Sumo Logic as the Destination URL in Files.com, and assign a Name for the integration to complete the setup. Sumo Logic typically embeds the authentication token in the HTTP Source Address URL, so there is no need to configure the authentication token separately.

You can configure additional headers by specifying the Header Name and Header Value in the Key and Value fields if you need to pass extra headers to your Sumo Logic setup.

Once configured, Files.com sends your log data to Sumo Logic in batches for monitoring and analysis.

Select log categories, then verify delivery and check connection problems. For receiver-specific diagnosis, see the provider documentation.
