Insight IDR with no agent installed

Current situation:

We are currently using a SIEM that has logs going to a WEF server and then to the SIEM without agents installed.

I have created a collector and have added the DC’s to the IDR– no issue, but when I try to add the DNS server it says I need a specific port open, but the logs are on the WEF server… why do I need a specific port open to communicate with the wef server?

How do I get my workstation logs that are sending the logs to the WEF to the collector and make view them in the IDR?

This solution is for a specific file type and I need all the logs without deploying agent.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Arthur,

what do you mean it says I need a specific port, are you referring to configuring the Microsoft DNS event source within IDR? If so you should switch to the Watch Directory method and use the remote network share option.
