Adding data sources
Now that we know more about the data sources available to us, let’s work through a few exercises to expand the data sources in our lab. Without the visibility of the data sources we are protecting, we are unable to write detections.
Keep in mind that each data source will involve an additional virtual machine or application to generate the logs. As such, if you have a limited number of compute resources available, focus on those most relevant to your organization.
The Elastic agent simplifies the process of collecting data from different sources, depending on the type of service being hosted on an endpoint. Planning the collection of data typically starts with organizing your endpoints into logical groups, based on shared characteristics, such as operating system, location, and service being hosted. These typically align with data collection requirements. Using Fleet, we can then create policies that collect relevant data for each of these groups.
