Attribute	Value
Connector ID	VMwareCarbonBlack
Publisher	VMware
Used in Solutions	VMware Carbon Black Cloud
Collection Method	Azure Function
Connector Definition Files	VMwareCarbonBlack_API_FunctionApp.json
Ingestion API	HTTP Data Collector API — Connector definition requires workspace key (SharedKey pattern)
Custom Log V1 Tables	Yes 🔶 — ingests into tables with type-suffixed columns

The VMware Carbon Black Cloud connector provides the capability to ingest Carbon Black data into Microsoft Sentinel. The connector provides visibility into Audit, Notification and Event logs in Microsoft Sentinel to view dashboards, create custom alerts, and to improve monitoring and investigation capabilities.

Tables Ingested

This connector ingests data into the following tables:

Table	Transformations	Ingestion API	Lake-Only
CarbonBlackAuditLogs_CL 🔶	✗	✓	✗
CarbonBlackEvents_CL 🔶	✗	✓	✗
CarbonBlackNotifications_CL 🔶	✗	✓	✗

💡 Tip: Tables with Ingestion API support allow data ingestion via the Azure Monitor Data Collector API, which also enables custom transformations during ingestion.

Permissions

Resource Provider Permissions:

• Workspace (Workspace): read and write permissions on the workspace are required.
• Keys (Workspace): read permissions to shared keys for the workspace are required. See the documentation to learn more about workspace keys.

Custom Permissions:

• Microsoft.Web/sites permissions: Read and write permissions to Azure Functions to create a Function App is required. See the documentation to learn more about Azure Functions.
• VMware Carbon Black API Key(s): Carbon Black API and/or SIEM Level API Key(s) are required. See the documentation to learn more about the Carbon Black API.
• A Carbon Black API access level API ID and Key is required for Audit and Event logs.
• A Carbon Black SIEM access level API ID and Key is required for Notification alerts.
• Amazon S3 REST API Credentials/permissions: AWS Access Key Id, AWS Secret Access Key, AWS S3 Bucket Name, Folder Name in AWS S3 Bucket are required for Amazon S3 REST API.

Setup Instructions

⚠️ Note: These instructions were automatically generated from the connector's user interface definition file using AI and may not be fully accurate. Please verify all configuration steps in the Microsoft Sentinel portal.

NOTE: This connector uses Azure Functions to connect to VMware Carbon Black to pull its logs into Microsoft Sentinel. This might result in additional data ingestion costs. Check the Azure Functions pricing page for details.

(Optional Step) Securely store workspace and API authorization key(s) or token(s) in Azure Key Vault. Azure Key Vault provides a secure mechanism to store and retrieve key values. Follow these instructions to use Azure Key Vault with an Azure Function App.

STEP 1 - Configuration steps for the VMware Carbon Black API

Follow these instructions to create an API Key.

STEP 2 - Choose ONE from the following two deployment options to deploy the connector and the associated Azure Function

IMPORTANT: Before deploying the VMware Carbon Black connector, have the Workspace ID and Workspace Primary Key (can be copied from the following), as well as the VMware Carbon Black API Authorization Key(s), readily available.

• Workspace ID: WorkspaceId

  Note: The value above is dynamically provided when these instructions are presented within Microsoft Sentinel.

• Primary Key: PrimaryKey

  Note: The value above is dynamically provided when these instructions are presented within Microsoft Sentinel.

3. Option 1 - Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Template

This method provides an automated deployment of the VMware Carbon Black connector using an ARM Tempate.

1. Click the Deploy to Azure button below.

   

2. Select the preferred Subscription, Resource Group and Location.

3. Enter the Workspace ID, Workspace Key, Log Types, API ID(s), API Key(s), Carbon Black Org Key, S3 Bucket Name, AWS Access Key Id, AWS Secret Access Key, EventPrefixFolderName,AlertPrefixFolderName, and validate the URI.

• The default Time Interval is set to pull the last five (5) minutes of data. If the time interval needs to be modified, it is recommended to change the Function App Timer Trigger accordingly (in the function.json file, post deployment) to prevent overlapping data ingestion.
• Carbon Black requires a seperate set of API ID/Keys to ingest Notification alerts. Enter the SIEM API ID/Key values or leave blank, if not required.

• Note: If using Azure Key Vault secrets for any of the values above, use the@Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri={Security Identifier})schema in place of the string values. Refer to Key Vault references documentation for further details.

• Enter the URI that corresponds to your region. The complete list of API URLs can be found here

4. Mark the checkbox labeled I agree to the terms and conditions stated above.
5. Click Purchase to deploy.

4. Option 2 - Manual Deployment of Azure Functions

Use the following step-by-step instructions to deploy the VMware Carbon Black connector manually with Azure Functions.

1. Create a Function App

1. From the Azure Portal, navigate to Function App, and select + Add.
2. In the Basics tab, ensure Runtime stack is set to Powershell Core.
3. In the Hosting tab, ensure the Consumption (Serverless) plan type is selected.
4. Make other preferrable configuration changes, if needed, then click Create.

2. Import Function App Code

1. In the newly created Function App, select Functions on the left pane and click + Add.
2. Select Timer Trigger.
3. Enter a unique Function Name and modify the cron schedule, if needed. The default value is set to run the Function App every 5 minutes. (Note: the Timer trigger should match the timeInterval value below to prevent overlapping data), click Create.
4. Click on Code + Test on the left pane.
5. Copy the Function App Code and paste into the Function App run.ps1 editor.
6. Click Save.

3. Configure the Function App

1. In the Function App, select the Function App Name and select Configuration.
2. In the Application settings tab, select + New application setting.
3. Add each of the following thirteen to sixteen (13-16) application settings individually, with their respective string values (case-sensitive): apiId apiKey workspaceID workspaceKey uri timeInterval CarbonBlackOrgKey CarbonBlackLogTypes s3BucketName EventPrefixFolderName AlertPrefixFolderName AWSAccessKeyId AWSSecretAccessKey SIEMapiId (Optional) SIEMapiKey (Optional) logAnalyticsUri (optional)

4. Once all application settings have been entered, click Save.

• Enter the URI that corresponds to your region. The complete list of API URLs can be found here. The uri value must follow the following schema: https://<API URL>.conferdeploy.net - There is no need to add a time suffix to the URI, the Function App will dynamically append the Time Value to the URI in the proper format.
• Set the timeInterval (in minutes) to the default value of 5 to correspond to the default Timer Trigger of every 5 minutes. If the time interval needs to be modified, it is recommended to change the Function App Timer Trigger accordingly to prevent overlapping data ingestion.
• Carbon Black requires a seperate set of API ID/Keys to ingest Notification alerts. Enter the SIEMapiId and SIEMapiKey values, if needed, or omit, if not required.
• Note: If using Azure Key Vault, use the@Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri={Security Identifier})schema in place of the string values. Refer to Key Vault references documentation for further details.
• Use logAnalyticsUri to override the log analytics API endpoint for dedicated cloud. For example, for public cloud, leave the value empty; for Azure GovUS cloud environment, specify the value in the following format: https://<CustomerId>.ods.opinsights.azure.us
