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.
