# Sophos

Scanner supports Sophos Central SIEM alert logs, which contain information about security events and alerts generated across various Sophos products integrated with Sophos Central. In order for Scanner to see them, you need to configure a worfklow to push logs to an S3 bucket that Scanner is linked to.

## Step 1: Publish to S3

Sophos provides a Python tool to export SIEM alerts from Sophos Central to a destination that supports receiving syslog data.

You can run a Fluentd agent to receive syslog data and forward logs to S3.

You can follow the Sophos documentation to configure the SIEM alert export flow to a syslog destination, which in our case will be Fluentd. See the following Sophos resources:

* [Sophos Central APIs: Send alert and event data to your SIEM](https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KBA-000004400?language=en_US)
* [Sophos-Central-SIEM-Integration on GitHub](https://github.com/sophos/Sophos-Central-SIEM-Integration/tree/master)

You can follow the Fluentd documentation to configure it to receive syslog input and write output logs to your S3 bucket. Make sure to configure the output format to be **JSON**. See the following Fluentd articles:

* [Fluentd syslog input module](https://docs.fluentd.org/input/syslog)
* [Fluentd s3 output module](https://docs.fluentd.org/output/s3)

## Step 2: Ingest via Scanner Collect

Follow the instructions [here](https://docs.scanner.dev/scanner/using-scanner-complete-feature-reference/data-ingestion/sources/custom-logs-aws-s3) to ingest logs from S3 via Scanner Collect
