  • The Data Connector collects DNS query data from the NIOS Grid and forwards this data to the NIOS reporting server through the SCP protocol, to the Infoblox cloud destination via HTTP requests, and to SIEM tools using TCP protocol.
  • To ensure confidentiality, all protocol exchanges to and from the Legacy Data Connector VM are encrypted.
  • The Legacy Data Connector VM has firewall enabled.
  • You can make a remote serial connection to the Legacy Data Connector VM using SSH port 2020. Example: ssh admin@DCVM_IP -p 2020.

  • Infoblox Technical Support can use port 2222 to access the Legacy Data Connector VM. Example: ssh dcadmin@DCVM_IP -p 2222.

Figure 1.1 illustrates the basic concept of the data collection process, which includes collecting query and response data from Grid members, storing them, and sending it back to the supported destinations. You can then monitor the trend of DNS queries by client, domain, time, record type, query type, and DNS view. For more information, see Viewing DNS Query Capture Reports
