Hi David

It is not suggested to send bluecoat to MCAS then to Sentinel. MCAS will only get the HTTP logs it needs for discovery.

You should send bluecoat logs to a sentinel CEF collector (https://support.symantec.com/us/en/article.tech242216.html) then you would have the raw syslog data in sentinel for use.

You would not be able to run an MCAS log collector and a Sentinel CEF collector on the same box. they both listen on port 514. But for a poc you likely only need 1 sentinel connector to collect from ASA, bluecoat and PAN.

Hi Nicholas,

Just coming back on this subject - we are just looking into details on this from a Log Collector point of view for BlueCoat Proxy traffic. From your answer we're getting the impression that there is no point in bringing BC Proxy logs into MCAS - is that because it doesn't really add any value like ID's/Auth, etc?

So it's better to just bring the BC_Proxy logs straight into Sentinel only?
