Proofpoint TRAP Source (Beta)

Beta

The Sumo Logic source for Proofpoint TRAP enables you to ingest message logs from the Proofpoint TRAP API and send them to Sumo Logic for analysis. This integration enhances email threat visibility by providing detailed insights into message disposition, threats detected, and policy actions, helping security teams identify, investigate, and respond to email-based attacks more effectively.

note

The Proofpoint TRAP API documentation is not public and is accessible only with a Support Community account.

The Proofpoint TRAP source requires you to provide the Proofpoint TRAP Base URL, Authentication Base URL, Client ID, and Client Secret to configure the source.

Source configuration

When you create a Proofpoint TRAP Source, you add it to a Hosted Collector. Before creating the Source, identify the Hosted Collector you want to use or create a new Hosted Collector. For instructions, see Configure a Hosted Collector and Source.

To configure the Proofpoint TRAP Source:

1. New UI. In the Sumo Logic main menu select Data Management, and then under Data Collection select Collection. You can also click the Go To... menu at the top of the screen and select Collection.
   Classic UI. In the main Sumo Logic menu, select Manage Data > Collection > Collection.
2. On the Collectors page, click Add Source next to a Hosted Collector.
3. Search for and select the Proofpoint TRAP icon.
4. Enter a Name to display for the Source in Sumo Logic. The description is optional.
5. (Optional) For Source Category, enter any string to tag the output collected from the Source. Category metadata is stored in a searchable field called _sourceCategory.
6. (Optional) Fields. Click the +Add Field link to define the fields you want to associate. Each field needs a name (key) and value.
   •  A green circle with a check mark is shown when the field exists and is enabled in the Fields table schema.
   •  An orange triangle with an exclamation point is shown when the field doesn't exist in the Fields table schema. In this case, you'll see an option to automatically add or enable the nonexistent fields to the Fields table schema. If a field is sent to Sumo Logic that does not exist in the Fields schema it is ignored, known as dropped.
7. Base URL. Enter your Base URL.
8. Auth Base URL. Enter your Auth Base URL.
9. Client ID. Enter your Client ID.
10. Client Secret. Enter your client secret.
11. Polling Interval. The polling interval is set for 5 minutes by default and can be configured from a minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 60 minutes. You can adjust it based on your needs. This sets how often the source checks for new data.
12. When you are finished configuring the Source, click Save.
