Data Forwarder Schema and API
Introduction
There are several sets of information about the Data Forwarder, each specific to a task;
- Configuring a Data Forwarder using the Carbon Black Cloud console is described in the User Guide. This is the recommended way to configure a new Forwarder or modify an existing one.
- Configuring a Data Forwarder using the Data Forwarder API has the same operations as the Carbon Black Cloud console exposes. This is recommended for service providers or similar organizations that create multiple Forwarders with the same configuration.
- The Data Forwarder Schema defines the structure of data emitted by the Data Forwarder for each type of Forwarder, e.g. Alert, Watchlist Hit. Use this to understand the fields that are included in the output of each type of Forwarder.
- Configuration Guide which has step by step instructions to configure the Destination / Provider. The options available are:
- AWS S3 Bucket
- Azure Blob Storage, released in January 2024.
