Collect Illumio Core logs

This document describes how you can collect the Illumio Core logs by using a Google Security Operations forwarder.

For more information, see Data ingestion to Google SecOps.

An ingestion label identifies the parser which normalizes raw log data to structured UDM format. The information in this document applies to the parser with the ILLUMIO_CORE ingestion label.
