Add Audit log connectors
With the Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection 2.36.1 release, the Audit Log Connector is supported for existing customers only. New customers will not have access to this feature.
Use the following procedure to add an Audit log connector.
To add an Audit log connector
- Access the Administration portal.
The home page of the Administration portal is displayed.
- Click Connectors on the Backup card.
- Click New backup connector.
- Click Audit Log.
To make the setup process easier and more intuitive, each tab in the connector creation workflow includes a help icon (?) at the left. You can click this icon to open the respective help topic for that tab, which can guide you through the setup step by step.
- On the General tab, set up the basic configuration for the connector.
- On the Capture scope tab, do the following:
In the Process last __days field, enter the number of days for which you want to backup the data.
By default, it is 14 days.
By default, the connector backs up data from the previous 14 days. It is recommended that you configure this option to 180 days for the first backup to ensure that all data for the last 180 days is backed up.
Once the initial backup is completed, Cohesity recommends changing this value to 7 days for efficient data processing during the subsequent backups.
If required, configure folder filters to include or exclude any specific folders from being backed up.
Click Next.
- On the Credentials tab, configure credentials to access the source workloads (the SharePoint data to be backed up) and click Next.
- Click Next.
- On the Scheduling tab, schedule when the backup job should run.
See Schedule a backup.
- On the Email notifications tab, configure email addresses to receive notifications about backup activities.
- On the Review tab, save the settings and initiate the backup.
