Connectors
Connectors are the combination of a collection process coupled with the interpretation of data from specific Data Sources. They allow to bridge the gap between raw data and actionable insights.
Analogy
Imagine different data sources as individuals speaking various languages. Connectors act as translators, converting each language into a common one. They then communicate with the monitoring systems, which understand and analyze the unified information, much like understanding a conversation with everyone speaking the same language.
Example
Let's review the Palo Alto connector. In action, this connector diligently translates and transmits Palo Alto syslogs, providing a seamless integration of this critical data into Mondata's broader security framework. As incidents arise, our team gains a comprehensive, global perspective by analyzing the aggregated events.
