    Overview

    Pre-defined applications in Log360 Cloud come with built-in authentication settings and predefined connection flows. This section outlines the steps to create a connection for any pre-defined service using the required credentials and built-in authentication flow. Once created, these connections can be used across modules that support integrations with pre-defined applications.

    Pre-requisites

    • Before creating a connection for a pre-defined service, ensure that the corresponding integration/extension is installed in Log360 Cloud.
    • Only after installing the extension, the service will appear in the Connections page for connection setup. The following applications are currently supported:
      • Okta
      • Sophos Central
      • Bitdefender
      • CrowdStrike
      • SentinelOne
      • VirusTotal
      • Dropbox
      • Cisco Duo

    Steps to create a connection

    1. In the product console, go to the Settings tab and select Admin.
    2. Under Integrations, select Connections.
