Exporting logs using API

Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE Log Export REST API allows customers to query and pull Cloud and Access Logs.

For authorizing users, refer to Configuring API authentication.

Note: Customers with Splunk or QRadar can instead utilize the Bitglass Splunk App or the Bitglass QRadar App instead to make pulling logs easier. You can learn how to setup each app by going to their respective pages (Integrating Splunk application with Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE or Integrating QRadar application with Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE). Once configured, you will be able to view any of your Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE logs (API, Proxy, Health, Admin, etc) within your app instance.
