Table 2. Available parameters

Parameter

Description

-Connection

A connection obtained by using the Connect-CAClient command. See the Change Auditor Command Guide for details.

-ITSSUrl

Specifies the address of your IT Security Search instance that will receive the event data.

•

By default, this is set to http://[hostname]:[port]/warehouse/changeauditor/events.

Hostname is the IT Security Search instance and the default port is 8087.

-Subsystems

Specifies an array of event subsystems from which to send events. This can be single or multiple subsystems.

NOTE: To obtain an array of subsystems, use the Get-CAEventExportSubsystems command and filter the list to specify the required subsystems.

-Credential

Domain\Username and password used for authenticating with the IT Security Search server.

Enter the username and password used to sign into the IT Security Search client.

-StartTimeUTC (Optional)

Specifies date and time from which events should be sent. The default is to start sending events from the time when the subscription is created.

For example:

•

20 July, 2020 12:01 PM uses local time

•

2020-07-20 12:10:00Z uses UTC time

The time will be local unless you specify the required flag to convert to UTC.

NOTE: The time cannot be more than 30 days prior to the Change Auditor installation date.

-BatchSize (Optional)

Specifies the maximum number of events to include in a single notification. The default is 10000 events.

-Enabled (Optional)

Specifies whether the subscription is enabled or disabled. By default it is enabled.

-HeartbeatUrl (Optional)

Specifies where (URL) to send heartbeat notifications.

NOTE: If no value is specified, heartbeat notifications are not sent.

-NotificationInterval (Optional)

Specifies how often (in milliseconds) notifications are sent to the IT Security Search instance. By default this is set to 0 which results in a continuous stream of events.

-HeartbeatInterval (Optional)

Specifies how often (in milliseconds) heartbeat notifications are sent to the HeartbeatUrl. By default, this is set to every 5 minutes. Setting this to 0 disables the heartbeat notifications.

-AllowedCoordinators (Optional)

Specifies the DNS or NetBIOS name of the coordinators permitted to send events. By default, any coordinator can send the events.

NOTE: The list order does not determine which coordinator is selected to send events.

-IncludeO365AADDetails (Optional)

Specifies whether to include the raw JSON event details provided by Microsoft. When set to true, the event will include a field named additionalDetails, containing the raw JSON string for Office 365 and Azure Active Directory events. When set to false, the additionalDetails field is not included.

By default, this is set to true.

Example: Create a subscription to send all subsystems event data to an IT Search instance

$allSubsystems = Get-CAEventExportSubsystems -Connection $connection

New-CAITSSEventSubscription -Connection $connection -ITSSUrl $ITSSUrl -Credential $Credential -Subsystems $allSubsystems

Get-CAITSSEventSubscriptions

Use this command to see the details of the current IT Security Search subscriptions.


	NOTE: The “Batches sent”, “Last event time in UTC”, “Last event response” and “Events sent” are all indicators that the events are being received by IT Security Search. Any failures receiving the data populate the “Last event response” property in the object with information on why the data was not received.
