Tcp type

When creating this type of connector, you need to define values for the following settings:

Basic settings tab:

• Name (required)—a unique name for this type of resource. Must contain 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
• Tenant (required)—name of the tenant that owns the resource.
• Type (required)—connector type, tcp.
• URL (required)—URL that you need to connect to. Available formats: hostname:port, IPv4:port, IPv6:port, :port.
• Delimiter is used to specify a character representing the delimiter between events. Available values: \n, \t, \0. If no separator is specified (an empty value is selected), the default value is \n.
• Description—resource description: up to 4,000 Unicode characters.

Advanced settings tab:

• Buffer size is used to set a buffer size for the connector. The default value is 1 MB, and the maximum value is 64 MB.
• Character encoding setting specifies character encoding. The default value is UTF-8.
• TLS mode—TLS encryption mode using certificates in PEM x509 format:
  • Disabled (default)—do not use TLS encryption.
  • Enabled—use encryption without certificate verification.
  • With verification—use encryption with verification that the certificate was signed with the KUMA root certificate. The root certificate and key of KUMA are created automatically during program installation and are stored on the KUMA Core server in the folder /opt/kaspersky/kuma/core/certificates/.
  • Custom PFX – use encryption. When this option is selected, a certificate must be generated with a private key in PKCS#12 container format in an external Certificate Authority. Then the certificate must be exported from the key store and uploaded to the KUMA web interface as a PFX secret. Add PFX secret.
    1. If you previously uploaded a PFX certificate, select it from the Secret drop-down list.

       If no certificate was previously added, the drop-down list shows No data.

    2. If you want to add a new certificate, click the button on the right of the Secret list.

       The Secret window opens.

    3. In the Name field, enter the name that will be used to display the secret in the list of available secrets.
    4. Click the Upload PFX button to select the file containing your previously exported certificate with a private key in PKCS#12 container format.
    5. In the Password field, enter the certificate security password that was set in the Certificate Export Wizard.
    6. Click the Save button.

    The certificate will be added and displayed in the Secret list.

    When using TLS, it is impossible to specify an IP address as a URL.

• Compression—you can use Snappy compression. By default, compression is disabled.
• Debug—a drop-down list where you can specify whether resource logging should be enabled. By default it is Disabled.
