Verify collector connectivity

Check collector connection status, investigate errors, and track connectivity changes in Cortex Data Security.

You can verify the connectivity status of a collector instance on the Data Sources & Integrations page. Instances are grouped by integration, and the Instances Status column shows icons that summarize the instance statuses for the integration. Click the integration to see details for each individual instance.

Troubleshooting collector errors

Note

For more information on troubleshooting data collector applet errors, see Troubleshoot Broker VM applet connectivity.

Where can I see if I have a connectivity error on a collector instance?

On the Data Sources & Integrations page, instances in error status display an error icon. Hover over the error icon next to the instance name to see the error message as received from the API.

Where can I trace the connectivity changes of a collector instance?

Each status change of an instance is logged in the collection_auditing dataset. Querying this dataset can help you see all the connectivity changes of an instance over time, the escalation or recovery of the connectivity status, and the error, warning, and informational messages related to status changes.

This example searches for status changes on Strata IOT integrations:

dataset = collection_auditing 
|filter collector_type = "STRATA_IOT"
