Digital Guardian is a data protection platform that discovers, classifies, and controls data movement across endpoints, networks, and the cloud. Digital Guardian Analytics and Reporting Cloud (DG ARC) is an advanced analytics, workflow, and reporting cloud service that delivers no-compromise data protection.

The Digital Guardian ARC integration ingests the export data using the Export API and uses Acknowledge API to advance the bookmark value to obtain the next chunk of data from export endpoint.

## Data collected

| Polling Interval | Data |
| :--- | :--- |
| 5 min |  Export data |

## Setup

### Vendor configuration

The Digital Guardian ARC source requires you to provide the Digital Guardian ARC Base URL (API Gateway URL), Authentication Server URL, Client ID, Client Secret, and Profile to export to configure the source. Follow the below steps to generate the required values:

1. From the ARC Tenant Settings, copy and save the **Tenant ID (API Client ID)** and **Authentication Token (API Secret)**.
1. From the Digital Guardian Management Console (DGMC), copy the **Access Gateway Base URL (API Gateway URL)** and **Authorization server URL**.
1. To copy ARC **Export Profile ID**:
    1. Navigate to **Admin** > **reports** > **export profiles**.
    1. Copy only the GUID part from the export profile.

### Source configuration

When you create a Digital Guardian ARC 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](/docs/send-data/hosted-collectors/configure-hosted-collector).

To configure Digital Guardian ARC Source:
1. [**New UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-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**.<br/>[**Classic UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui-classic). In the main Sumo Logic menu, select **Manage Data > Collection > Collection**. 
1. On the Collectors page, click **Add Source** next to a Hosted Collector.
1. Search for and select the **Digital Guardian ARC** icon.
1. Enter a **Name** to display for the Source in Sumo Logic. The description is optional.
1. (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`.
1. (Optional) **Fields**. Click the **+Add Field** link to define the fields you want to associate. Each field needs a name (key) and value.
   * <img src={useBaseUrl('img/reuse/green-check-circle.png')} alt="Green check circle" width="20"/> A green circle with a check mark is shown when the field exists and is enabled in the Fields table schema.
   * <img src={useBaseUrl('img/reuse/orange-exclamation-point.png')} alt="Orange exclamation point" width="20"/> 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.
1. In **API Gateway URL**, enter the API Gateway URL of your account.
1. In **Authorization Server URL**, enter the Authorization Server URL of your account.
1. In **API Client ID**, enter the API Client ID you generated from the Digital Guardian platform.
1. In **API Secret**, enter the API Secret you generated from the Digital Guardian platform.
1. In **Export Profile**, enter the name of the profile that needs to be exported.
1. The **Polling Interval** is set for 5 minutes hours by default. You can adjust it based on your needs.
1. When you are finished configuring the Source, click **Save**.

After configuring the Digital Guardian ARC source, consider installing the Sumo Logic app for [Digital Guardian ARC](/docs/integrations/saas-cloud/digital-guardian-arc/) to visualize and analyze the collected data using prebuilt dashboards and monitor alerts.
