- Collect your machine’s IP address (this will be used by SonicWall as the syslog server).
3. Firewall Configuration
For Linux/macOS:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=514/udp
firewall-cmd --reload
For Windows (Run in PowerShell as Administrator):
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow UDP Port 514" -Direction Inbound -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 514 -Action Allow
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow UDP Port 514" -Direction Outbound -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 514 -Action Allow
4. Download and Load the Docker Image
Download the Docker image using the following URL (replace the placeholders):
https://connectors-xdr.seqrite.com/connectors/collector/download?collectorId=<COLLECTOR_ID>&password=<COLLECTOR_PASSWORD>&tid=<TENANT_ID>
Load the Docker image:
docker load --input <path_to/hhcollector-1.0.0.tar>
5. Start the Collector Agent
Run the Docker container using:
docker run -p 514:514/udp \
--env COLLECTOR_ID=<COLLECTOR_ID> \
--env TID=<TENANT_ID> \
hhcollector
6. SonicWall Firewall Configuration
