About CEF Program

The ArcSight CEF certification program assists technology companies that want to adopt, test, and certify their compatibility with the ArcSight platform. The objective of the CEF certification program is to provide a well-defined process that includes documentation, event categorization assistance, and access to a hosted ArcSight ESM solution, for testing and Web support.

The CEF connector allows ArcSight ESM to connect to, aggregate, filter, correlate, and analyze events from applications and devices which output their logs in the CEF standard, utilizing the syslog transport protocol. For example you can use this powerful text-based log format to collect logs from your customized or home grown applications if you modify their output to the CEF standard.
