The procedure is to port in logs by creating a new Syslog source,\nconfiguring that source in Workbench, then your Check Point via SIEM device in\nWorkbench.\n\n###  Note\n\nSome steps in this procedure vary greatly depending upon the SIEM-based\ntechnology you use.\n\n####  In this article\n\n  * Step 1: Logging Check Point to a desired SIEM\n\n  * Step 2: Configure the SIEM in Workbench\n\n  * Step 3: Configure Check Point via SIEM in Workbench\n\n##  Step 1: Logging Check Point to a desired SIEM\n\nRefer to your SIEM documentation or work with your SIEM representative to port\nin Check Point logs. You can also refer to the following web references for\ncreating a new Syslog source:\n\n  * Sumo Logic\n\n##  Step 2: Configure the SIEM in Workbench\n\nThis link opens the Expel Knowledge Base section for connecting SIEM-based\ntechnology to Workbench. Follow the applicable article to configure your SIEM-\nbased tech and confirm that Check Point logs are flowing through and\navailable.\n\n##  Step 3: Configure Check Point via SIEM in Workbench\n\nNow that we have the correct access configured and noted the credentials, we\ncan integrate your tech with Workbench.\n\n###  Note\n\nExpel secures all login information our SOC analysts need about your devices\nin a MFA password product. Access to this login information is protected using\nour internal MFA processes. To learn more about the IP addresses all Expel\ntraffic comes from, go here.\n\n  1.

Fill in the device fields like this:\n\n    1. For SIEM select the SIEM that was onboarded in Step 2.\n\n    2. For Name type the host name of the Check Point device.\n\n    3. For Location type the geographic location of the device.\n\n  3. Fill in the Connection Settings fields based on the SIEM selected:\n\n    1. For Source category, type in the Sumo Logic source category for this device.\n\n  4. Click Save.\n\nYou can see if the device is healthy on the Security Devices page. It may take\na few minutes to see the device listed as healthy.\n\nTo check if alerts are coming through, navigate to the Alerts Analysis page.\nScroll to the device you want to check and click View alerts. Switch to grid\nview, then check the list for device alerts. It can take 36 to 72 hours for\nalerts to appear after setup, as we tune your device.\n\n###  Tip\n\nThis article was accurate at the time of writing, but changes happen.
