Data Forwarder Alert Schema v1 Migration

The Data Forwarder Alert Schema v1 will be deactivated on July 31, 2024.

Overview

Carbon Black Cloud’s latest-generation Alerts data is now available to ingest directly into your Carbon Black Cloud Data Forwarder-enabled integrations. Making the full power of Carbon Black Cloud’s updated Alert data available to system integrators, the Alerts Forwarder v2 provides a continuous stream of rich Carbon Black Cloud Alerts to be integrated into your SIEM, security lake, and other custom applications.

New Features

  • The Alerts Forwarder v2 Schema has significant updates which mirror the Alerts v7 API Schema.
  • A version field (currently “2.0.0”) has been added to all alerts forwarded from the Alerts Forwarder v2. This field matches the value in the Schema dropdown on the Add Forwarder and Edit Forwarder pages of the Carbon Black Cloud console.
