Setting up Cisco FTD Collector

This setup is for the XDR Collector only. If you are using a physical or virtual sensor, contact your administrator.

To set up Cisco FTD collector, do the following:

Enable Cisco FTD collector
Install the XDR Collector
Configure Cisco FTD
Open the port on the XDR Collector Host

Enable Cisco FTD collector

In Barracuda XDR Dashboard, navigate to Administration > Integrations.
On the Cisco FTD Collector card, click Setup.
Select the Enabled check box.
Click Save.

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
