Install the XDR Collector

When collecting logs from one or more integrated data sources, always set up the XDR Collector on a dedicated host server. Don't use an existing server because the amount of data produced by logs can impact critical infrastructure.

If you haven't already set up the XDR Collector, do one of the following:
- Setting up the XDR Collector for Windows
- Setting up the XDR Collector for Linux

Configure the Firewall

Syslog servers can be defined in the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Collector. Choose Configuration > Device Management > Logging > Syslog Servers.

Click Add a syslog server and enter the following:
- Specify the interface that the server is associated with.
- IP Address: The static IP address of the system hosting the XDR Collector.
- Specify the protocol: UDP
- UDP port: 9220
Click OK.

You can find more documentation at the following:
