Subscription failover support

Subscription failover support

If a coordinator detects that the event sending to a SIEM subscription has been consistently failing for a specified period of time, it will try another coordinator that has been specified as an allowed coordinator to send events to a SIEM tool. If the second coordinator successfully sends events to the SIEM subscription, it will continue performing the task.

The following internal events help to keep you informed of any issues:

•
The Event forwarding suspended due to webhook error internal event alerts you to a SIEM connection issue.
•
The Event forwarding has resumed internal event indicates that the connection has been restored.

By default, the failover time period for the coordinator is set to 30 minutes.
