Setting Up Data Ingestion

ArcSight uses SmartConnectors for data ingestion. SmartConnectors intelligently collect a large amount of heterogeneous raw event data from security devices in an enterprise network, process the data into ArcSight security events, and transport data to a destination. To help you effectively monitor and manage large SmartConnectors deployments, you can use the centralized management interface in ArcSight Management Center (ArcMC).

SmartConnectors and ArcMC can be deployed as standalone capabilities.
