Prerequisites for Log360 Cloud Agent

This document lists the prerequisites that have to be met to run the Log360 Cloud agent.

Required ports

The Log360 Cloud Agent requires the following ports to communicate with the cloud application server and to listen to the syslogs.

Port Numbers Ports Usage Description
443 (TCP) Communication with cloud server This is the default port used by the Log360 Cloud agent to communicate with the cloud application server.
513, 514 (UDP) Syslog listener port These are the default Syslog listener ports for UDP. Ensure that the devices are configured to send Syslogs to any one of these ports.
514 (TCP) Syslog listener port This is the default Syslog listener port for TCP. Ensure that devices are configured to send Syslogs to this port.

Log360 Cloud Agent and devices in your network use the following ports for WMI, RPC, SMB, LDAP and DCOM services.

Port Numbers Ports Usage Description
135, 445, 139 (TCP) WMI, DCOM, RPC These are the traffic ports for the Log360 Cloud agent. The same ports will be used as incoming traffic ports in the devices and must be opened. Windows services DCOM, WMI, and RPC use these ports, while Log360 Cloud agent uses these services to collect logs from Windows machines in default mode (Event Log mode).
49152-65534 (TCP) WMI, DCOM, RPC These are the incoming traffic ports in the Log360 Cloud agent. The same ports will be used as outgoing traffic ports in the devices and must be opened. DCOM uses callback mechanism on random ports between 49152-65534 for Windows Server 2008 and 1024-65534 for previous versions.
389 LDAP This port is used for domain discovery, it allows application to query directory services, such as Active Directory, to discover information about domains.
139, 445, 135
1024-65535
SMB
RPC
These ports are used for workgroup discovery, SMB & RPC services are used to discover other computers in the workgroup.
139
135, 137, 138
SMB
RPC
These ports are for event source discovery. SMB and RPC is used for interacting with remote machines and identifying event log sources.
